      abstract = {This paper provides an analysis of global patenting trends  using the most comprehensive data currently available.  Among other things, it finds that subsequent patent filings  - additional filings of the same invention, mostly in  additional countries - contributed considerably to the  growth in filings worldwide, pointing to globalization as  one important driver of filing growth. However, no single  factor can fully explain the marked increase in the use of  the patent system.},
