Extended data:
As the most effective carrier of technical information, patent literature contains more than 90% of the latest technical information in the world, which is 5-6 years earlier than the information provided by general technical publications.
Moreover, 70%-80% of inventions are only published through patent documents, not in other scientific and technological documents. Compared with other documents, patents are more novel and practical.
It can be seen that patent literature is the largest technical information source in the world. According to empirical statistical analysis, patent literature contains 90%-95% of the global scientific and technological information.
