Essential Patent Analysis Datasets

Many researchers focused on innovation want to understand the origins of ideas, including as captured as published papers, their evolution and commercialization by firms, including as patents and products. The following datasets provide a starting point for analysis of innovation data. We note proprietary or limited-access options but focus on open-access datasets, which can be retrieved without needin to pay or request access and are bold-italicized. Other than prioritizing open datasets, we list them alphabetically.
