Using data pooled from a unique nano-related patent database, the research attempts to
investigate gender disparities in patenting nanotechnology innovations. Our systematic …

While the persistence of wide gender gap in patenting and STEM is a widely known fact,
what is less explored is how that gap affects the nature of innovation. Several previous …

Using detailed administrative and survey data from thousands of engineers, we provide
insights into the invention process, how it is influenced by firm policies, and its variation by …

Recent recommended changes to Australia's patent laws could narrow the scope of
