Patents are an essential information source used to monitor, track, and analyze nanotechnology. When it comes to search nanotechnology-related patents, a keyword search is often incomplete and struggles to cover such an interdisciplinary discipline. Patent classification schemes can reveal far better results since they are assigned by experts who c...

This poster presents the indicators of a patentometric study of Spanish nanotechnology [1] that was presented in a Nanotech Event [2]. The analysis was conducted for the years 2004 to 2014 and the search strategy was based on keywords of a established query [3] and relevant patent classifications. As a patent data source the database Espacenet-Worl...

In this work, which is based on a PhD thesis [1] in the framework of a funded project [2], a patentometric study of Spanish nanotechnology is done for the years 2004 to 2014. We identified relevant patent classifications and combined them with an established lexical query for nanotechnology [3]. By using Espacenet data source (DocDB) which had the...
