English abstract

The study distinguishes some of the rich sources of information that can be extracted from a patent document and can act as an indicator to measure some of the technological features of patenting activity of a firm/country. The paper attempts to highlight this through empirical examination of patents granted to Indian institutions in the US. The applicability of the indicators that are distinguished and meaning they can convey are addressed in this study.
