      abstract = {This publication takes stock of the recent developments in  the field. It provides guiding principles for the use of  patent data in the context of S & T measurement, and  recommendations for the compilation and interpretation of  patent indicators in this context. It aims to show what  patent statistics can and cannot be used for, and how to  count patents in order to maximize information on S & T  activities while minimizing statistical noise and biases.  Finally, it describes how patent data can be used in the  analysis of a wide array of topics related to technical  change and patenting activity including industry-science  linkages, patenting strategies by companies,  internationalization of research, and indicators on the  value of patents.--Publisher's description.},
