APPENDIX

The searches were performed on the 21st of June of 2013. The number of documents resulting from

the search of years previous to 2006 might vary slightly as the database is actualized weekly, the

numbers shown in the search after 2006 will increase as time passes from the day of realization of

this report

The first search:

The Initial sentence by which the number of patents issued in Poland was counted for the years

between 1990 to 2000 was:

APPC = PL AND PRD >19900101 AND PRD 19900101 AND PRD 20060101

Not in EP

APPC = PL AND PRD >20060101 ANDNOT FMA = (EP OR DE OR GB OR)

Almost exclusive of that country:

APPC = PL AND PRD >20060101 ANDNOT FMA = (EP OR DE OR GB OR FR OR US OR CA OR AU OR CN)

In the case of Ucraine I also extracted Russia to see if there was any regional/linguistic influence

APPC =UA AND PRD >20060101 ANDNOT FMA = (EP OR DE OR GB OR FR OR US OR CA OR AU OR CN

OR RU)

And when considering countries like China or Australia, etc. I changed the condition in the not family

members to PL
