However, we observe an upsurge in the innovation activity of the mining industry in the first half of the 2000s. During this period, mining innovation started to increase rapidly after periods of stagnation and downward trends. To conduct and in-depth investigation of the global trends and patterns behind this structural change in mining innovation, we formulated a general search strategy to identify patent activity in this sector. The strategy is repeatable over time and in multiple databases. It enabled us to produce a dataset of patents in mining and mining-related technologies. Using this newly-created database we identified at the basis of the structural change a switch away from refining technologies into exploration and environmental technologies probably explained by the took over of the so-called 4th Industrial Revolution. The types of actors active in the mining innovation also changed across time: there are now many more individuals, research centers and universities innovating in mining and relatively less companies. Finally, the country composition in the pool of mining innovation activity has radically changed with the appearance of China on the global scene starting from early 2000. 000029097 542__ $$fLicense: CC BY 3.0 IGO 000029097 650_0 $$aPatents$$zChina. 000029097 651_0 $$aChina$$xCommerce$$xLaw and legislation. 000029097 7001_ $$aDaly, Alica 000029097 7001_ $$aValacchi, Giulia 000029097 7001_ $$aRaffo, Julio 000029097 830_0 $$aEconomics Working Papers. 000029097 8564_ $$9cff782c8-98c1-4de2-a385-46c623ae81f0$$s2393879$$zComplete document (PDF)$$uhttps://tind.wipo.int/record/29097/files/wipo_pub_econstat_wp_56.pdf 000029097 901__ $$aWIPO/PUB/ECONSTAT/WP/56 000029097 902__ $$a4420_en 000029097 903__ $$aEconomics working papers 000029097 904__ $$aWorking paper 000029097 909CO $$ooai:tind.wipo.int:29097$$pWIPOPUB 000029097 980__ $$aWIPOPUB$$aERWP
