Abstract

[spa] La bibliometria de las patentes : una mediciôn de la actividad tecnolôgica . La enumeraciôn de las patentes registradas en las oficinas europa y americana, asi como el anâlisis estadistico ofrecen una mediciôn de la actividad de investigaciôn en la casi totalidad de los sectores. El reparto entre los campos tecnolôgicos résulta bastante similar en ambos sistemas de patentes. . Se desarrolla la competencia casi exclusivamente entre Estados Unidos, Japon y la Union europea. En cada uno de ambos sistemas existe un efecto de proximidad. Sin embargo, cabe matizar dicha ventaja ya que tan solo la mitad de las patentes en Europa proceden de los europeos y la mitad de las patentes en Estados Unidos estân registradas por americanos.Con todo, el anâlisis pone de manifiesto la actuaciôn tecnolôgica de Japon en aquellos dos mercados en los que interviene sin embargo desde el exterior. . En Europa, los alemanes registran en el sistema europeo el doble de patentes que los franceses, los cuales a su vez registran el doble que los ingleses. En Francia, la fuerte presencia de la region Ile-de-France se ve moderada por la actuaciôn tecnolôgica de la region Rhône-Alpes. [eng] Patent Bibliometrics: A Measurement of Technological Activity . the United States are filed by Americans. Yet the analysis above all highlights Japan's technological performance on these two markets, even though they are foreign markets for the country. . A count of the patents filed with European and American offices and the statistical analysis of their characteristics provide a measurement of research activity in nearly every sector. The breakdown by technological field is fairly similar in these two patent systems. . Competition exists almost exclusively between the United States, Japan and the European Union. A proximity effect is found in each of the two systems. Nevertheless, this advantage remains relative as only half of the patents in Europe come from Europeans and half of the patents in Europe, the Germans file twice as many patents with the European system as the French, who file twice as many as the English. In France, the high profile of the Paris area is tempered by the technological performance of the Rhône-Alpes region. [fre] La bibliométrie des brevets : une mesure de l'activité technologique . des brevets en Europe émanent d'Européens et la moitié des brevets aux États-Unis sont déclarés par des Américains. Mais, l'analyse fait surtout ressortir la performance technologique du Japon sur ces deux marchés qui lui sont pourtant extérieurs. . Le dénombrement des brevets déposés auprès des offices européen et américain et l'analyse statistique de leurs caractéristiques fournissent une mesure de l'activité de recherche dans la quasi-totalité des secteurs. La répartition par domaines technologiques est assez proche dans ces deux systèmes de brevets. . La compétition se joue presqu'exclusivement entre les États-Unis, le Japon et l'Union européenne. Dans chacun des deux systèmes, il existe un effet de proximité. Toutefois, cet avantage reste relatif puisque seulement la moitié . En Europe, les Allemands déposent deux fois plus de brevets dans le système européen que les Français, qui eux-mêmes en déposent deux fois plus que les Anglais. En France, la forte présence de l'Île-de-France est tempérée par la performance technologique de la région Rhône - Alpes.
