“…Jaffe and Lerner [4] and Jaffe and Trajtenberg [5] provide additional reviews and critiques of patent citation analysis. Even if these references are a "noisy" indicator [6], studies show there is a strong positive correlation between citations and technological importance [7] as indicated by awards [8], expert judgement [9], and continued payment of maintenance fees [10]. Research has also found a positive relationship between patent citation indicators and business financial performance.…”

“…Breitzman and Thomas [7] examine citations to NIST patents using established normalization techniques. While NIST-assigned patents underperform patents with a similar technological focus and age, the limited number of patents-just 122 patents between 2005 and 2014-diminishes the significance of this result.…”

The National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST's) mission is to "promote U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness." To meet this mission, NIST scientists produce a great variety of scientific and technical outputs. This paper presents results from a novel effort to measure usage and impact of a more complete set of outputs, including patents, publications, research data, software, reference materials, and a variety of additional formal and informal scientific outputs. This effort captures a significantly broader set of scientific outputs than traditional citation analysis which typically examines patent-to-patent citations or more recently patent-to-(peer-reviewed) paper citations. This may be of significant importance to NIST as NIST scientists produce a wide variety of scientific and technical outputs beyond patents and papers. Our results indicate that metrics that solely rely on patents issued to NIST inventors understate NIST's true impact on invention and do not capture usage of much of NIST's scientific output by other inventors. Thus, identifying the magnitude and varied usage of different types of NIST outputs represents a significant improvement in NIST impact metrics. The results clearly indicate that different companies, industries and technologies rely on different types of NIST outputs. Therefore, reliance on a limited set of technology transfer tools by either researchers or policy makers creates a risk that NIST knowledge and capabilities will not be transferred to and adopted by businesses and other organizations. Finally, the data developed here suggest a number of new technology transfer metrics that promote shared technology transfer responsibilities and may focus attention on activities that increase the impact of current research without fundamentally altering the infrastructural character of this research.

“…Karkioffers a survey of the various methods of patent citation analysis and their applications, outlining a number of technological indicators [16]. Anthony Brietzman and Mary Ellen Mogee consider the use of patent analysis in a number of scenarios, from corporate finance to securities valuation, offering several metrics that are useful in a number of situations [17]. Michael Roach and Wesley Cohen look at the validity of patent citation information as a measure of knowledge-flow, and in particular the validity of backwards citation information [18].…”

Determining the quantum of damages that should be afforded to an applicant when patent infringement has occurred is problematic for a number of reasons. Incorporeal works are difficult to value, and consequently certain categories of intellectual property present real challenges for the courts. This paper contends that citation information may be particularly helpful in relation to patents for a number of reasons. Citation information may afford useful insights into the level of industry uptake and the amount of subsequent innovation made possible by the patent. This insight may be particularly beneficial in situations where the courts are considering awarding additional damages. While the courts have not considered patent citation information thus far, the paper presents a number of patent citation-related metrics that may assist with the determination of patent damages.

“…This does not mean that all important patents are highly cited, nor that every highly cited patent is important. However, numerous validation studies have revealed the existence of a strong positive relationship between citations and technological importance (see Breitzman and Mogee (2002) for a review of validation studies). For example , Carpenter et.…”
