7 Patent citation analysis Objective: To provide patent citation analysis and to establish who cites food patents originating from Australia. Patent citation frequency is often used as an indicator of technological impact. Patent examiners and innovators worldwide routinely cite previous inventions, which are then recorded on the patent. The frequency of these citations is one metric for the impact of patents in terms of follow-on innovation. Figure 24 illustrates how to read a patent citation tree. There are two types of patent citations: citations to previous documents (backward citations) and citations of a patent document after its publication (forward citations). Entities are colour-coded. Backward citations can be indicative of the multi-disciplinary extent of a patent. For instance, multiple fields in the backwards citations indicate a patent that draws on several disciplines. Once a patent has been filed and is published, then others can cite it. Forward citations therefore can be indicative of the impact a patent has had on follow on innovation – the higher the count of forward citations, the greater the impact the patent has had on follow on innovation.
