Abstract: This article describes how patents data from the Intellectual Property Office are being matched with detailed firmlevel data from the Office for National Statistics. The resulting database will provide a gateway for future research on firm-level innovation and technical change. Preliminary results are presented showing the characteristics of patenting businesses, the rate of patent renewal, and the regional distribution of patenting activity. The article also highlights future areas of research that can develop the evidence base for patent and innovation policy.
