Data
The KEINS project has produced a number of dataset which are accessible to all interested researchers
1. KEINS Database on Academic Inventors
The database contains detailed information on university professors from France, Italy, and Sweden, who appear as designated inventors on one or more patent application registered at the European Patent Office (EPO), 1978-2004.
Users of the KEINS database need to achieve some understanding of the complex methodology followed to identify inventors in the EP-INV database, and of the subsequent matching procedure; and if they wish to extend the geographical coverage of the database beyond the three original countries, they may find it useful to employ the SQL, SAS, and Access software tools that we developed over time. In order to do so, they may wish to read the following:
Lissoni F., Sanditov B., Tarasconi G. (2006), The Keins Database on Academic Inventors: Methodology and Contents, CESPRI working paper 181
The paper also contains the complete table of contents of the database, and ought to be cited in the reference list of all papers based on KEINS data on academic inventors, or on data collected with the KEINS methodology.

2. KEINS Database on New Innovators
The database contains detailed information on new innovative firms from France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, and Sweden, who have applied for their first patent at the European Patent Office (EPO) from 1990 onwards, within five years after their foundation, and in expanding technological fields (i.e. biotechnology, electronics and medical devices).
For more information, you may wish to read the following:
