This new technology, which\nin particular is designed to be suitable to big data, is used to construct an\nopen consolidated database from raw data on 4 million patents taken from the US\npatent office from 1976 onward. To build the pattern network, not only do we\nlook at each patent title, but we also examine their full abstract and extract\nthe relevant keywords accordingly. We refer to this classification as semantic\napproach in contrast with the more common technological approach which consists\nin taking the topology when considering US Patent office technological classes.\nMoreover, we document that both approaches have highly different topological\nmeasures and strong statistical evidence that they feature a different model.\nThis suggests that our method is a useful tool to extract endogenous\ninformation.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1612.08504v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1612.08504v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"classifying-patents-based-on-their-semantic","repo_url":"https://github.com/JusteRaimbault/PatentsMining","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"classification","task_name":"General Classification"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
