@danielpgross.bsky.social & @sampat.bsky.social introduce a comprehensive, open-access #dataset identifying US government-funded patents from 1900-2020. The government's share of patented innovations reached its zenith during WWII - comprising 11% of all US filings.

A graph of government-funded patents per R&D dollar, overall and by agency. Though federal spending on research and development has been a pillar of US innovation since World War II, the level and composition of that funding shows significant variation over time. This column introduces a comprehensive, open-access dataset identifying government-funded patents from 1900 to 2020, collected from administrative records of the US Patent and Trademark Office. The authors discuss how these data – which include a much larger set of publicly funded patents than was previously known – can be used in future research, consider their limitations, and document long-run patterns in US patent policy.
