OECD - Revealed technological advantage in biotechnologies
Bioeconomy Knowledge Centre

Data on the revealed technological advantage in biotechnologies in 2000-03 and 2010-13.

Index based on IP5 patent families.

The revealed technological advantage index is calculated as the share of country (or economy) in biotechnology patents relative to the share of country (or economy) in total patents. Only countries and economies with more than 100 patents per period are included in the figure.

Biotechnology firms use biotechnology to produce goods or services and/or to perform biotechnology R&D. These firms are captured by biotechnology firm surveys.

Dedicated biotechnology firms devote at least 75% of their production of goods and services, or R&D, to biotechnology.

This dataset is part of the OECD Key Biotech Indicators.
