Semantic annotation and big data techniques for patent information processing
2017
This thesis analyzes approaches to generate semantic annotations on patent records, as well as on other structured data, by relying on the structure and semantic representation of documents. Information in patent records reflects how real-world technologies evolve, and the approximately 3 million annual new patent applications capture the global inventive frontier. The volume of this information is too big to be effectively analyzed purely with human effort, necessitating Big data approaches to analyze it with computer aided tools and techniques. Big data is a term that describes a massive volume of structured, semi structured and unstructured data that is so large to the point that it is d…
The demand for IPR services - to use or not to use a professional representative
2021
We analysed the use of professional representative services and related outcomes in patent, utility model, design right and trademark filings. We found that: 1) there is a positive association between the use of a professional representative and the likelihood of grant or registration; 2) the demand for professional intellectual property rights (IPR) services is heterogeneous between IPR types: applicants are most likely to hire professional representatives (IPR agents and attorneys) for patents, followed by utility models, design rights and trademarks; 3) individual applicants are less likely to use professional representatives compared to firm applicants. peerReviewed
IPR gender gaps: a first look at utility model, design right and trademark filings
2018
This study extends the analysis of the gender gap in patenting into design rights, utility model (UMs) and trademarks (TMs), which are complementary methods for protecting intellectual property. The analysis is descriptive and uses register data from the Finnish patent and registration office covering the years 1982–2013. A persistent gender gap is found for all intellectual property rights. The gap has narrowed over time for national patent, design right and TM filings but not for UM filings. It is found that, in comparison to men, women are relatively less often single inventors or designers and more often members of inventor or designer teams. peerReviewed
The role of utility models in patent filing strategies: evidence from European countries
2018
We examine the role of utility models (UM) in patent filing strategies. With an extensive patent family data from European countries, we explore the structures and characteristics of patent families, which include UMs. A simple typology of patent families with UM members is introduced. We document that the geographical scope of most patent families with UM members is purely national, which is in line with the conventional view that the UM mechanism covers technologically and economically marginal inventions. However, the image of a UM as a signal of a minor invention is an oversimplification. Applicants exhibit a mixture of uses for the UM and there exists a subset of UM filings linked to i…
IPR-aineistojen mahdollisuuksia, replikointitarpeita ja teknisiä haasteita
2021
Tässä artikkelissa tehdään katsaus aineettomien oikeuksien eli IPR- (intellectual property rights) aineistoihin erityisesti suomalaisesta ja eurooppalaisesta näkökulmasta. Keskityn patentti-, hyödyllisyysmalli-, tavaramerkki- ja mallioikeusaineistoihin eli teollisoikeuksiin jättäen tekijänoikeudet tarkastelun ulkopuolelle. Digitalisaation myötä rekisteriaineistojen laatu ja saatavuus ovat jatkuvasti lisääntyneet ja IPR-järjestelmien toiminnan tutkimus sekä hypoteesien empiirinen testaus ovat tulleet mahdolliseksi ennennäkemättömällä tavalla. Eräitä mielenkiintoisia aiheita, joiden tutkimuksen yhä laadukkaammat IPR-aineistot mahdollistavat ovat 1) kokonaisvaltaisempi IPR-analyysi, joka paten…
Tiedon omistaminen on valtaa : globalisoituvan patenttijärjestelmän poliittinen moraalitalous ja globaali kapitalismi
2008
Globalisoituvassa patenttijärjestelmässä ei ole kyse globaalin kapitalismin teknisestä yksityiskohdasta, vaan merkittävästä yhteiskunnallisesta kysymyksestä. Tämän havaitsi Ilkka Kauppinen sosiologian väitöskirjassaan tutkiessaan globalisoituvaa patenttijärjestelmää ja Maailman kauppajärjestön (WTO) vuonna 1994 hyväksymää sopimusta teollis- ja tekijänoikeuksien kauppaan liittyvistä näkökohdista (TRIPS).Kehitysmaissa elävien ihmisten kannalta ongelmallisimmat patentit koskevat esimerkiksi maataloutta ja lääketeollisuutta, koska patentit mahdollistavat näillä aloilla tuotettavien elintärkeiden hyödykkeiden monopolihinnoittelun. Patenttijärjestelmällä on yhteytensä myös ilmastonmuutokseen, kos…
Need for speed? Exploring the relative importance of patents and utility models among German firms
2017
Despite the wide use of two-tiered patent systems (patents and utility models (UMs)), there is little empirical evidence about how often UMs are actually used, what kind of firms use them to protect their intellectual property, and how firms rank them relative to patents. We offer such an analysis using data from Germany. We find that larger firms are more likely to use both protection methods. Moreover, a short life cycle of products and services is associated with an increased likelihood to use UMs. The features and functioning of the German UM system are of broader interest because it has been a benchmark for several second tier patent protection systems around the world. peerReviewed
Uncovering value through exploration of barriers:A perspective on intellectual property rights in a national innovation system
2023
Although for a long time policy has emphasized the role of intellectual property rights as a growth agent facilitating innovation, the literature has called into question this relationship. Critical studies have focused on studying policy frames and protection modes that could transform the intellectual property rights system to be more beneficial. Studies have not, however, focused on the intellectual property rights system stakeholders in cocreating the system. Our study contributes to the literature by uncovering the tensions in developing a national-level intellectual property rights strategy. Using the Delphi method, we draw from a broad stakeholder dialogue to show the barriers for in…
Intellectual property rights and economic growth
2015
Striving for greater economic growth, requires a great understanding of the underlying factors. One of the factors may be the intellectual property rights and the level of its protection. Whether it is and how does it behave are the questions answered by this thesis. The theoretical framework comes mainly from the Schumpeterian growth model. The empirical methodology uses GMM in order to obtain reliable results. The level of intellectual property rights protection in the country does seem to have a positive effect on the country’s growth rate. Furthermore it seems that the relation is non-linear: The incremental changes are different between low and high starting levels of the IPR protectio…
