This groundbreaking book delves into the intricate world of co-patenting, a phenomenon that signifies collaborative ventures between firms and inventors. By employing the methodology of network science, it provides a comprehensive analysis of co-patenting in Japan and the United States, shedding light on the structures and dynamics of these collaborative networks. Through the lens of network science, this book enables us to examine the intricate connections between nodes, facilitating a deeper understanding of the temporal development of these networks.

While regression analyses, widely used in the field of economics, offer valuable insights into determining the attributes that are crucial for firms and inventors to connect, they fail to account for the complexity of networks. Recognizing this limitation, this book compiles a series of studies conducted by the author, encompassing geographical location and co-patenting, utilizing data published in eight academic journal articles. By presenting these studies, the book offers valuable insights into how patent data can be utilized to unravel the complexities of firms and inventors' collaboration within the framework of complex networks.

This book is a valuable resource for researchers, scholars, and professionals interested in exploring the dynamics of innovation, collaboration, and intellectual property in the context of complex networks. It provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the factors that shape co-patenting relationships and offers practical implications for policymakers, industry practitioners, and inventors alike. As we navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of technology and innovation, this book serves as a timely reminder of the importance of collaboration and the potential benefits that can be reaped through strategic partnerships.
