CAPPA – Career Paths of Patent Attorneys

The CAPPA dataset contains anonymised information on the career paths of patent attorneys that are registered with the European Patent Office (EPO) tracking their employment from 2008 to 2018. It consists of four different sub-datasets (Attorney Data Frame, Employer Data Frame, Change Data Frame, and Career Path Data Frame) that are composed for specific information needs. The dataset has been computed, cleaned and made consistent based on publicly available patent records that are available through the EPO. A separate tutorial introducing some visualisations for the dataset is available on Zenodo under the DOI 105281/zenodo.3267424.CAPPA数据集（CAPPA Dataset）收录了欧洲专利局（European Patent Office, EPO）注册专利代理人的职业路径匿名化信息，追踪其2008年至2018年间的从业轨迹。该数据集包含四个为满足特定信息需求构建的不同子数据集，分别为代理人数据集（Attorney Data Frame）、雇主数据集（Employer Data Frame）、变动数据集（Change Data Frame）与职业路径数据集（Career Path Data Frame）。本数据集基于欧洲专利局公开可获取的专利记录完成计算、清洗与一致性处理。Zenodo平台上已发布一份配套教程，对该数据集的部分可视化方法进行介绍，其DOI为105281/zenodo.3267424。
