Profiles of Technological Capabilities of the
Chinese Academy of Sciences(CAS)-A Comparison
of patenting activities of the CAS with other
national level institutions

• Yang Zhiping
• The Chengdu Library of Chinese Academy of
  Sciences
• 11th ISSI conference June 26 2007 Madrid Spain

2
Intruduction

• How does CAS compare to the other institutions
  having the similar national duty function in
  terms of patent activities?
• What are the patenting strategies of three
  institutions distributed in the world?
• What are the inventive features among three
  institutions, especially for CAS?
• What have been the technology accumulation and
  invention fields in the last fifteen years?
• What were patterns of cross-sectoral
  collaboration in technology innovation?

3
Intruduction

• The Chinese Academy of Sciences(CAS)
• France National Center for Scientific
  Research(CNR)
• Max Planck Society(MPS)
• Based on the part report of CAS annual patent
  analysis.

4
Date source and search strategy

• Derwent Innovations Index (DII)
• Derwent patent assignee codes, complex search
  queries.
• CAS all possible English names, synonyms as well
  as abbreviations of the CAS including its
  affiliated institutes and companies as retrieval
  terms.
• CNRS and MPS assignee codes, CNRS and PLAC
  possible English name spellings.

5
Data time and others

• Derwent patent basic year 1990 to 2004
• According to the introduction of DII database,
  basic patent means the first member of a patent
  family, while this member is not necessarily
  published before all other members, normally a
  basic patent is the first patent record cited
  into Derwent World Patents Index(Derwent
  Analytics VantagePoint User Guide 2003).
• Thomson Data Analyzer(TDA) and other
  self-developed analysis software

Comparison of patent families of three
institutions

• The number of filing foreign countries
• Filing patent in its home country
• The top rank order of patent filed CNRS and MPS
• World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO),
  European Patent Office (EPO), United States,
  Australia, Japan.

2.1 Comparison of distribution of technology
priorities
14
Comparison of Share of patent countries in
technology fields, according to TOP 10 IPC

• Country or regional distribution of technology
  fields can reflect an institution intention on
  technology markets(Michael,2005).
• Considering the research result above, we here
  addressed how distribution of three institutions
  in pharmaceutical fields was.

2.2 Analyzing the inventive features

• Derwent Manual Codes(DMC)
• the technology inventive features of three
  institutions.

1. The similar inventive activities for three
institutions

• D05-H09(TESTING AND DETECTION),
• D05-H12E(VECTORS (1994- )),
• D05-H12A(WILD-TYPE CODING SEQUENCES),
• B04-E08(VECTORS, PLASMIDS, COSMIDS, TRANSPOSONS),
• B14-H01(ANTICANCER GENERAL AND OTHER),
• D05-H08(CELL OR TISSUE CULTURE),
