Patent Information as a Tool to Understand the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Technological Transformation

Résumé

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the face of the world and transformed our lives forever. Technology has not failed in the face of this transformation.

The pandemic has stimulated technological innovation and we have witnessed the production of an anthology of effective technical solutions deployed to deal with the pandemic.

Patent information serves as a valuable resource for studying and understanding the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on technological advancement. Patents not only represent novel inventions and technological developments but also reflect the strategies taken by organizations to adapt and respond to the crisis. By analyzing patent data, researchers can gain unique insights into technology trends, innovation patterns, and the overall impact of the pandemic on transformative technologies.

This article aims to explore the relationship between the COVID-19 pandemic and technological transformation through a comprehensive analysis of patent information. By examining the patent landscape across various industries and sectors, we aim to provide a nuanced understanding of how the pandemic has stimulated or hindered technological advancements in different areas. Furthermore, this research seeks to identify potential areas for future technological growth and innovation in a post-pandemic world.
