The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) maintains a knowledgebase of sources for patents, global brands, global designs, laws and treaties, and classification systems.
OECD Intellectual Property Statistics contains patent data and indicators.
OECD Research & Development Statistics includes:
- Gross domestic expenditure on research and experimental development (GERD)
- R&D Personnel
- Business Enterprise R&D
- Government Budgets on R&D
- Historical R&D Expenditure Series
OECD Main Science and Technology Indicators provides a set of indicators that compare the science and technology (S&T) performance of OECD member countries and selected non-member economies. Focuses principally on tracking financial and human resources devoted to research and experimental development (R&D), as defined in the OECD Frascati Manual, complemented by additional indicators of outputs and potential outcomes of S&T activities, namely patent data and international trade in R&D-intensive industries. MSTI also comprises several OECD economic and demographic statistical series which are used to calculate relevant benchmarks that account for differences in the relative size of economies, purchasing power and the effect of inflation.
