Whether you are interested in economics of innovation, intellectual property, econometrics - more specifically cross-sectional and count models as well as survival time analysis -, patent statistics, data and text mining (more generally artificial intelligence) or object oriented technologies (from modeling to development in Java or C#), share one of my passions for Bach, Physics especially those questions of time, cosmology and epistemology, or just want to learn a little bit more about me, I hope you’ll find some interesting stuff in these pages.

More specifically, recent articles deal with the measurement of the technological specialization of countries with patent data, patent drafting and the voluminosity of applications, patent filing and drafting strategies, patent value indicators (in particular patent citations, oppositions, validation and renewals), survival analyses of patent renewals and decision lags, or the relation between patents and academic research.

Although my objective is to combine teaching, consulting and research activities to develop an expertise in Innovation Management and Strategic Management of Information Systems, I can hardly prevent myself from thinking of these statements from Beethoven, Weinberg and others, reminding us how sciences and art only can lift human life a little above the level of farce, and give it some of the grace of tragedy. This might explain the noticeable diversity of the subjects evoked here.
