A longitudinal dataset of sector-level patent data for Europe

This dataset contains information on patent applications and grants at the 2-digit ISIC Rev.4/NACE Rev.2 sector level for a set of 24 European countries from 1985 to 2020. The data are assigned to sectors by applying the Lybbert & Zolas (2014) weights of sector-technology field correspondence to European Patent Office (EPO) patent data retrieved from OECD. The dataset provides patent data based on the applicant’s and inventor’s country of residence, on an annual basis, in two formats: i) patent applications and grants (flows), and ii) patent applications’ and grants’ stocks, estimated through the perpetual inventory method (PIM) using a 15% deprecation rate.

It was developed in the Laboratory of Industrial and Energy Economics of the National Technical University of Athens by Dr. D. Stamopoulos and Dr. P. Dimas under the supervision of Assistant Professor Aimilia Protogerou (principal investigator of GRinGVCs). The "Leveraging Global Value Chains for Innovation and Competitiveness: The Case of Greece" (GRinGVCs) project is carried out within the framework of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan Greece 2.0, funded by the European Union – NextGenerationEU (Implementation body: HFRI - Project Number: HFRI-016667).

本数据集涵盖1985年至2020年间24个欧洲国家的两位码国际标准产业分类修订第4版（ISIC Rev.4）/欧盟行业分类修订第2版（NACE Rev.2）行业层面的专利申请与授权信息。数据通过将Lybbert与Zolas（2014）提出的行业-技术领域对应权重，应用于经济合作与发展组织（OECD）检索得到的欧洲专利局（EPO）专利数据，完成行业归属分配。数据集提供基于申请人与发明人居住国的年度专利数据，包含两种形式：i）专利申请与授权（流量数据）；ii）通过永续盘存法（Perpetual Inventory Method, PIM）、以15%折旧率估算得到的专利申请与授权存量数据。

本数据集由雅典国立科技大学工业与能源经济学实验室的D. Stamopoulos博士与P. Dimas博士，在助理教授Aimilia Protogerou（GRinGVCs项目首席研究员）的指导下编制完成。"依托全球价值链提升创新与竞争力：以希腊为例"（GRinGVCs）项目依托欧盟——下一代欧盟（NextGenerationEU）资助的希腊国家复苏与韧性计划2.0框架开展，实施机构为HFRI，项目编号：HFRI-016667。
