Outline of Final Research Achievements

We measured the scope of a Japanese patent by the inverse of the number of characters of the first claim of the patent and investigated the relation to patent value measured by the number of forward citation. We revealed that the broader the scope of a patent, the more valuable. Further, we found that patents of broad claims in complex technology such as electrical and electronic field and computer and communication field, have high possibility of being ranked in top 1% highly cited patents, although they have also high risks that come of pioneer nature. Additionally, we revealed that patent applications with high quality in disclosure of prior art are more likely to be granted with patent scope breadth that is close to what they initially intend to acquire.
