This workshop focuses on the empirical analysis of patent data, emphasizing the use of patents both as a measure of knowledge and innovation, and as an institutional phenomenon worthy of research in its own right. The goals of the PDW are twofold. First, it will provide an introduction to patent data for management scholars new to the field, including a discussion of data sources, data limitations, and methods for effectively analyzing patent data. Second, it will provide examples of in-depth analyses using patent research. The panelists will engage in discussions with the audience to address the current state of patent research and future directions for research.
