Summary
This study introduces a novel AI patent search strategy to analyze innovation dynamics. AI patenting shows growth but is concentrated and non-collaborative, with knowledge flow mainly through citations.
Area of Science:
- Computer Science
- Intellectual Property Law
- Innovation Studies
Background:
- Artificial intelligence (AI) is a central technology in political, economic, and societal discussions.
- Understanding AI innovation dynamics is crucial for policy and strategic development.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and apply a new AI patent search strategy.
- To analyze the landscape of AI innovation dynamics and technology evolution using patent data.
Main Methods:
- Patent analysis
- Network analysis
- Source path link count algorithms
- Examination of spatial and temporal trends, cooperation, knowledge flow, and technological routes.
Main Results:
- AI patenting is growing but concentrated.
- The development and protection profile for AI is non-collaborative and multi-path.
- Cross-organization knowledge flows primarily rely on interorganizational knowledge citation links.
Conclusions:
- The current AI patent landscape indicates a complex and evolving innovation ecosystem.
- Further research into fostering collaboration within AI patenting may be beneficial.
- The developed search strategy offers a robust method for analyzing AI technology trends.

Non-equilibrium in the Cell
4.9K
An important concept in studying metabolism and energy is that of chemical equilibrium. Most chemical reactions are reversible. They can proceed in both directions, releasing energy into their environment in one direction, and absorbing it from the environment in the other direction. The same is true for the chemical reactions involved in cell metabolism, such as the breaking down and building up of proteins into and from individual amino acids, respectively. Reactants within a closed system...
