The OECD explores the role of Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) in stimulating the diffusion of knowledge and fostering innovation. It studies the economic impact of IP regimes in high-tech industries and in public research; assesses policies and institutional practices for IP management and exploitation; and develops indicators to assess the effectiveness of technology transfer.

This report explores how new and evolving approaches to IP, such as licensing and auctions, patents pools, IP clearinghouses and emerging models of research collaborations are impacting the modern scientific environment in life sciences. It suggests ways in which both the public and private sectors seek to evolve from an “own and protect” model of intellectual property into an era of “own and share”, where value accrues not just to the initial owner of IP, but also to larger society as a whole.

What are patent families? What is the impact of adopting one definition or another? Are some definitions of patent families better suited than others for certain uses in statistical and economic analysis? The aim of this working paper is to provide answers to these questions, compare methodologies and outcomes of the most commonly used patent family definitions, and provide guidance on how to build families based on raw data from the EPO Worldwide Patent Statistics database (PATSTAT).
