WASHINGTON - The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) will host the “Patent Statistics for Decision Makers 2011” conference November 16-17, 2011 to explore advances in the analysis of patent information in the context of the changing legal, economic, competitive and technological landscapes. 

According to the Office, the conference will be held at the USPTO Headquarters, James Madison Building Auditorium in Alexandria, VA. 

Patent data is increasingly used in sophisticated analyses, helping experts to investigate innovation, the advancement of science, and technology-related activities. Patent information is also employed by industry to do competitive analysis and to help plan R&D and technology strategies and in government to gather important information about the patent system and its performance. Advances in computing power and the availability of patent databases have expanded the possibilities for conducting statistical analysis and research, while the demand for patent statistics is rising as economic performance is increasingly tied to technological innovation.
