Published by the European Patent Office, PATSTAT Global provides information on patent applications and granted patents collected from national and regional patent offices worldwide. The dataset has been formatted to facilitate statistical analysis. It can be used to research when a patent application was filed, how the patent progressed through the process, if and when it was granted, who the inventors were, and the textual abstract of the patent itself.
PATSTAT Global is extracted from PATSTAT Online database. It is a snapshot of the source database at the time of extraction which is end of January for the spring edition and end of July for the autumn edition.
Files are in .csv format. More information is available on the PATSTAT website.
