Process and product inventions based on EPO claims data

This dataset encompasses all European patents, categorizing them into product and process inventions based on the analysis of claims text. It includes patents in all three official European Patent Office filing languages: English, French, and German. The classification process involves a detailed examination of the claims text in each patent to determine whether the patent pertains to a product (a tangible or intangible item) or a process (a method or procedure). This dataset serves as a crucial resource for analyzing trends and patterns in European patent filings, providing insights into the nature of technological innovation across different industries and sectors.
