We study the prevalence and traits of global collaborative patents for U.S. public companies, where the inventor team is located both within and outside of the United States. Collaborative patents are frequently observed when a corporation is entering into a new foreign region for innovative...

The article analyzes a new instrument of Russian innovation policy - technology platforms. The reasons for their establishment are outlined based on the analysis of the innovation system in Russia. Comparisons with the European Union technology platforms, which served as blueprints for...

This discussion paper aims to propose an indicator of emerging technological themes. The development of such indicator is justified due to the need to guide the Brazilian federal government in emerging discussions on the field of technological policy. In reality, the wide range of information...
