Colombian Patent Applications From 2000 To Present

Over two decades of patent application records detail filings from 2000 onward, including applicant, inventor, and sector information. The dataset is published by Colombia's Superintendency of Industry and Commerce (SIC) via the national open data portal. It was last updated in December 2025.

Use Cases

• Analyze patent filing trends over time using the 'Año Presentación' and 'Fecha de Presentacion' columns.
• Map the geographic distribution of inventors and applicants using the 'Region', 'Ciudad', and 'Pais Nombre' fields.
• Study sectoral innovation activity by examining the 'Sector' and 'Naturaleza' columns.
• Identify resident versus non-resident patenting activity using the 'Residente' and 'Pais' columns.

Strengths

• Covers a long temporal range from the year 2000 to the present date.
• Includes multiple descriptive columns such as 'Solicitante', 'Inventor', 'Sector', and 'Trámite'.

Limitations

• The exact number of records (rows) is unknown, preventing assessment of statistical significance.
• Sample data is unavailable, making it impossible to verify data quality or completeness.
