This dataset provides the number of inventions (simple patent families) developed by country's inventors, independent of the jurisdictions where patent protection is sought (i.e. all known patent families worldwide are considered). The indicator is disaggregated by:

• Inventor country, fractional counted; e.g. for a patent listing inventors from two different countries, each country will obtain a count of 0.5, to avoid double-counting of inventions;
• Family size: the number of countries where the patent application has been filed. Family size "1 and greater" means that the invention is protected in at least one country and as such this category includes all patents, many of them protecting low-value inventions, for which data are available worldwide. Family size "2 and greater" will count inventions that have sought patent protection in at least two countries, and so on.
• Technology domain: Harvesting technology / Aquaculture technology / New products and markets

This dataset provides the number of co-inventions (simple patent families) developed jointly by at least two inventors. This indicator is disaggregated by:

• Inventor country: country of residence of the inventor(s), integral counted;
• Variables: total number of co-inventions, and percentage of co-inventions developed within-country (all inventors from the same country), with foreign inventors, with inventors only from OECD countries, and with at least one inventor from BRIICS countries.
• Technology domain: Harvesting technology / Aquaculture technology / New products and markets

This dataset provides the number of co-inventions (simple patent families) developed jointly by at least two inventors. This indicator is disaggregated by:

• Inventor country: country of residence of the inventor(s), integral counted; in cases when inventors from more than two countries collaborate, this is translated into distinct bilateral relationships between country pairs. For example, if inventors from 3 countries collaborate (e.g. USA, DEU, JPN) then a unit count is assigned to 3 country pairs (USA-DEU, DEU-JPN, JPN-USA); in this case a country generally coordinate the project and the others are partners.
• Partner country: country of residence of the inventor(s) who collaborate to the patent.
• Technology domain: Harvesting technology / Aquaculture technology / New products and markets

This dataset provides the number of inventions that seek patent protection through national, regional or international routes (equivalents of the priority application, pertaining to the same simple patent family) in a given jurisdiction. It shows the extent to which firms and individuals seek to "protect" the relevant markets for their inventions (including both domestic and foreign inventions). The indicator is disaggregated by:

• Patent office: integer counts of patent applications deposited in different geographic jurisdictions (national and regional application authorities);
• Coverage: proportion of months in a year with at least one patent document deposited at the patent office. It allows displaying statistics based on all available data ("full dataset, with no restriction on coverage") or only for offices with data availability above a certain threshold (90%) in a given year ("conservative coverage"). While for most OECD countries data availability is complete, this distinction might be important particularly for some non-OECD countries. The geographical scope of protection reflects the market coverage of an invention: the higher the number of countries in which protection has been sought, the greater the potential for commercialisation and profit.
