Resumo(s)
This dissertation offers a detailed analysis of global technological leadership by studying
patent data from the world's five major patent offices (IP5): the USPTO, EPO, JPO, KIPO,
and CNIPA. It covers two time periods, t0 (2019–2021) and t1 (2022–2023), and uses two
data sources: the Google Patents Public Dataset and Orbis IP. By applying a dual-metric
approach—combining an overall performance score (which looks at patent counts, growth
rates, and citation impacts) with an adjusted share metric - the best performing and most
present IPC Subclasses are retrieved. Further analysis reveals that while the CNIPA holds
the largest share of granted patents, other patents granted in the other IP5 regions are
strongly specialised in key areas like pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and digital data
processing.
The findings suggest that the current geopolitical context reflects a competitive race for
technological supremacy among major economic powers. Just as there was intense
competition to explore space during the Cold War, Regions now compete for influence in
technology. However, instead of racing to the moon, their goal is to secure technological
leadership in the global market. A significant part of this work involved comparing data
from Orbis IP with the Google Patents Public Dataset. This comparison highlights the
different strengths of each source and underlines the need for a single, high-quality,
publicly accessible data pool for practical analysis.
