WIPO to Hold Conference on Role of Statistics in Analyzing Patent Activity Trends

Geneva, June 13, 2003
Media Alerts MA/2003/13

An international conference organized by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in Geneva, Switzerland on September 17, 2003 will analyze the role of statistics in determining trends in patenting activity. It will explore how to improve patent-related statistics to better suit the particular needs of policy makers, patent offices, industry and professional advisers as an indicator of economic, technological and business trends.

Patents, as a primary source of technological information, offer a unique resource for analyzing the process of technological change and measuring the knowledge base and competitive position of a given industry or country. Data contained in patents and patent related documents can be valuable in formulating effective technology policies in both private and public sectors at regional, national, and international levels. The Conference is designed to promote a better understanding of how patent indicators, and which ones, may be better used as a strategic economic planning tool to promote business development and assist companies in strengthening their patenting strategies.

The Conference will provide feedback to WIPO regarding the needs of users of the patent system with respect to patent statistics. This will help in formulating adequate policies to meet those needs.

Full details of the program are available on the website of the Conference at: https://www.wipo.int/patent/meetings/2003/patent_statistics. Speakers will come from entities and organizations specialized in the field of statistics and from the public and private sectors. Details are available on the website.

The Conference will be held at the WIPO headquarters, 34, chemin des Colombettes, 1211 Geneva 20, Switzerland. Simultaneous interpretation will be available in English, French and Spanish.
