“…In such cases, inventors are located in the same geographical place during the projects, but since they represent different historical and cultural backgrounds, education systems, etc. (Grupp and Schmoch, 1999) it still seems relevant to categorize these projects as international. It, thus, seems necessary to combine the inventor and organization aspects.…”

“…According to Grupp and Schmoch (1999), the three most common principles are: assignment by priority country (i.e. the country where the first application was filed), assignment by assignee country (i.e.…”

“…This principle has been used, e.g., in the official statistics of the USPTO (Grupp and Schmoch, 1999) and by well-known researchers such as Pari Patel and John Cantwell. There seem to be two main arguments in favour of this principle.…”

“…The underlying argument seems to be that this principle better reflects the national basis of patents (Grupp and Schmoch, 1999). 12 In fractional counting, each inventor and the countries he/she represents is attributed an equal part of the patent.…”

“…12 In fractional counting, each inventor and the countries he/she represents is attributed an equal part of the patent. 13 This principle is advocated by EUROSTAT (Grupp and Schmoch, 1999) and has been used by, e.g. Bergek and Berggren (2004), Stolpe (2002) and Criscuolo et al (2005).…”

Based on the critical case of ABB, this paper questions the relevance of using patents with multiple inventors from different countries ("cross-country patents") as an indicator of international R&D collaboration. The study shows that less than half of ABB's cross-country patents are the result of international R&D collaboration as described by one of the more inclusive definitions found in previous literature. Only a third of the patents are the result of joint R&D activities between different MNC subsidiaries or firms. We also discuss the implications of our study for the assignment of patents to countries based on inventor addresses.

Via the Internet, information scientists can obtain costfree access to large databases in the "hidden" or "deep Web." These databases are often structured far more than the Internet domains themselves. The patent database of the U.S. Patent and Trade Office is used in this study to examine the science base of patents in terms of the literature references in these patents. Universitybased patents at the global level are compared with results when using the national economy of the Netherlands as a system of reference. Methods for accessing the online databases and for the visualization of the results are specified. The conclusion is that "biotechnology" has historically generated a model for theorizing about university-industry relations that cannot easily be generalized to other sectors and disciplines.
