Layout of Nanotechnology Patents in Global Market

Abstract:

Patents are the manifest output of market layout. Based on global nanotechnology patents applied from 1991 to 2010, which are collected by Derwent Innovation Index database, this paper elaborates the distribution and development trends of nanotechnology in global market, through the quantitative analysis of patent distribution in five nanomarkets (materials & process, electronics & devices, biology & medicine, instrument & measurement), in hope of providing an objective statistic reference for future policy directions and academic researches.
