PATSTAT user day
PATSTAT is the EPO’s backbone data set for statistical analysis on bibliographical and legal status patent data. The PATSTAT product line forms a unique basis for conducting sophisticated analyses of bibliographic and legal status data.
• PATSTAT Introduction : 9:30-11:15
This event, organised by the European Patent Office (EPO), aims at providing users with hands-on training about PATSTAT, and to showcase its main features and latest additions.
• PATSTAT User day: 11:15-13:00
The PATSTAT users’ forum gives participants the opportunity to present their work on patent statistics based on PATSTAT, and to receive suggestions and feedbacks from the PATSTAT team and other participants. This forum offers a great opportunity to share ideas, methods and projects.
For further information on the PATSTAT workshops, please contact patstat@epo.org.

IP data workshop  
The IP data workshop is organised by the IP Statistics Task Force led by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The workshop takes place once a year, ahead of the annual IPSDM conference, and represents an occasion for IP Statistics Task Force members to share on-going data, statistical and analytical work related to intellectual property with current and prospect users. The workshop is intended as an interactive event, where presentations are followed by Q&A sessions.
