Abstract: The Patentatlas by Greif and Schmiedl (2002) represents an important source for patent data in Germany. Its use for industry-speciï¬c studies is however problematic because the correct assignment of patent data classiï¬ed by technological ï¬elds to commonly used industry classiï¬cations is unclear. This paper presents an application-oriented approach to this issue. In using industry-speciï¬c R+D employment numbers on a regional level, an approximate concordance is developed between the 31 technological ï¬elds of the Patentatlas and 21 manufacturing industries, as deï¬ned by the German Industry Classiï¬cation.
