Using exploratory statistics, the analysis uses a novel tool to leverage the long-range dependency (LRD) intrinsic to PTA to resolve when such factor(s) may have caused significant disruptions in the evolution of the indices, and thus give insight into substantive economic growth dynamics. Approach: This paper explores the use of the Chronological Hurst Exponent (CHE) to explore the LRD using overlapping time windows to quantify long-memory dynamics in the monthly PTA time-series spanning 1977 to 2016. Results/Discussion: The CHE is found to increase in a clear S-curve pattern, achieving persistence (H~1) from non-persistence (H~0.5). For patents, the inflection occurred over a span of 10 years (1980-1990), while it was much sharper (3 years) for trademarks (1977-1980). Conclusions/Originality/Value: This analysis suggests (in part) that the rapid augmentation in R&D expenditure and the introduction of the various patent directed policy acts (e.g., Bayh-Dole, Stevenson-Wydler) are the key impetuses behind persistency, latent in PTA. The post-1990’s exogenic factors seem to be simply maintaining the high degree and consistency of the persistency metric. These findings suggest investigators should consider latent persistency when using these data and the CHE may be an important tool to investigate the impact of substantive exogenous variables on growth dynamics. 000046142 588__ $$aCrossref 000046142 590__ $$aPublished online: Aug-21 000046142 650_0 $$aIntellectual property. 000046142 650_0 $$aSocial sciences. 000046142 650_0 $$aTrademarks. 000046142 7001_ $$aDaizadeh, Iraj,$$eauthor. 000046142 830_0 $$aIberoamerican Journal of Science Measurement and Communication;$$vVolume 1, no. 3, 2021. 000046142 85641 $$uhttps://doi.org/10.47909/ijsmc.32$$yOnline version 000046142 85648 $$3Abstract with links to full text$$uhttps://dx.doi.org/ 000046142 904__ $$aJournal article 000046142 980__ $$aBIB
