Profiles of Technological Capabilities of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) - 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 The Chengdu Library of Chinese Academy of Sciences 11 th ISSI conference June Madrid Spain

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?

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.

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.

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

2.1 Comparison of distribution of technology priorities

Comparison of Share of patent countries in technology fields, according to TOP 10 IPC 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.

3.1 Comparision of the Number and Change of Patent Co-assignees  The increase number of patent co-assignees  The number of the co-assignees of CAS patents  The number of the co-assignees of CNRS patents  The number of the co-assignees of MPS patents.

3.2 Analysis of Top 10 Patent Co-assignees  Universities, corporations as well as research institutes.  Main technology innovation sectors.

3.2 Analysis of Top 10 Patent Co-assignees  In top 10 patent co-assignees of every institution, common patenting inventive features : D05(FERMENTATION INDUSTRY), B04(NATURAL PRODUCTS (OR GENETICALLY ENGINEERED), POLYMERS), B14(PHARMACEUTICAL ACTIVITIES). The most inventive features of patent co-assignees of CAS. The limited inventive features.

3.2 Analysis of Top 10 Patent Co-assignees  Seven international organizations among CAS’s top co-assignees : DOKURITSU GYOSEI HOJIN RIKAGAKU KENKYUSH, JAPAN SCI & TECHNOLOGY CORP, SHIMADZU CORP, YAMANOUCHI PHARM CO LTD, TORAY IND INC, KENT RIDGE DIGITAL LABS UNIV INST SYSTEMS SCI NAT SINGAPOR CAS ---foreign companies(especially Asia companies) CAS--- fermentation industry, natural products and pharmaceutical.
