Titel
At the crossroads in laser medicine and polymide chemistry. Patent assessment of the expansion of knowledge
Abstract
The caracteristics of science-linked technologies are investigated by the examples of laser medicine and polyimides in electronics. Different approaches lead to a very comprehensive picture of the examined areas. Especially, a dual model with a distinction between areas of applied and basic research is introduced, and citations to patent and to non-patent literature in patent search reports are analysed. As a main result, the cyclicity of research can be shown.
