A Quantitative Metric for Research Impact Using Patent Citation Analytics
October 2019
This is us demonstrating our patent analytics capabilities....
"A new metric for Research Impact index is presented using only X-type and Y-type examiner citations cited during prosecution of patents where the patent family must have at least one US patent family member, where the citations are de-duplicated (to remove double counting associated with duplicate Patent Examiner citations from different jurisdictions when examining the same invention), and where the citations are for both non-patent publications and patent publications, where academics are, respectively, the authors and inventors. The quantitative outcomes are demonstrated using a 10 year dataset of 22,255 publications from the Faculty of Engineering and IT at the University of Technology Sydney. The results show that patent examiners are 180x more likely to seek prior art in the patent literature as compared to the academic literature."
Trade Secret Theft in China
4 August 2019
An interesting view on China and IP. My view; a secret isn't a secret when more than 5 people know about it; then it becomes information (to quote Lord Varys from the Game of Thrones).
If it's important to you then you can't rely on keeping it a secret because usually more than this number of people know about it inside your own organization. So, please, use the IP systems even if they aren't perfect.
And it is no use accusing the Chinese of stealing secrets That is oxymoronic. They couldn't steal them if they were secrets. Where these sort of accusations are bandied about, you will invariably find that the so-called secret has become information, and it has simply been borrowed.

AUSTRALIA’S HIGH-TECH START-UP SECTOR – WHO ACTUALLY WANTS ONE?
Oct 2015
Countries like Australia must articulate the actual 'need' for a start-up business sector before attempting to create one with government incentives. Said 'need' cannot to be in competition with Silicon Valley because that will fail.
