English abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze citations to the Lancet journals in patents based on the Lens database. This study indicates to what extent the Lancet is used and cited by inventors worldwide. We analyzed the innovation impact and distributions of patent citations to the Lancet. The primary source of patent data utilized in this study was the Lens database (www.lens.org). This study indicates to what extent the Lancet is used and cited by inventors. We analyzed the distributions of patent citations to the Lancet. The results show that the total number of patent citations to the Lancet papers on the Lens was 114,069. Most patents cited to the Lancet papers have been granted by the United States, WIPO, European Patens, China, Japan, Korea, Germany, UK, France, and Russia. It was noted that the highest number of patents were in the A class (Human necessities), especially the following CPC subclass: A61P 35/00 (Antineoplastic agents: Drugs); A61P 43/00 (Drugs for specific purposes, not provided for in groups A61P 1/00-A61P 41/00); A61K 45/06 (Mixtures of active ingredients without chemical characterisation, e.g. antiphlogistics and cardiaca); A61P 29/00 (Non-central analgesic, antipyretic or antiinflammatory agents, e.g. antirheumatic agents; Non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs [NSAID]); A61P 25/00 (Drugs for disorders of the nervous system). This study analyzed the frequency of patent citations to the Lancet. The results show that the total number of patent citations to papers published in the Lancet was 114,069. The Lancet's papers are cited in patents of the Class A (Human Necessities). Thus, the Lancet serves the human necessities and health care.
