Patentometric: monitoring the scientific and technological trends of Additive Manufacturing in Medical Applications

Patents are a means of protecting inventions developed by firms, institutions or individuals, and they may be interpreted as indicators of invention. Patents indicators convey information on the processes of inventive activities. Therefore, patent statistics will assess science and technology (S&...
