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数据集收录了在欧洲专利局（European Patent Office，EPO）注册的专利代理人的职业轨迹匿名信息，追踪其2008年至2018年间的从业情况。该数据集包含四个针对特定信息需求构建的子数据集，分别为代理人数据集（Attorney Data Frame）、雇主数据集（Employer Data Frame）、变更数据集（Change Data Frame）以及职业轨迹数据集（Career Path Data Frame）。本数据集基于欧洲专利局公开可得的专利记录完成计算、清洗与格式统一工作。
另有一份针对该数据集的数据可视化教程可在Zenodo平台获取，其关联DOI为105281/zenodo.3267424。
