This paper presents an evaluation with the use of patentometry of how the technologies for the production and use of green polyethylenes (HDPE -high density polyethylene and LLDPE -linear low density polyethylene) and green polypropylene evolved from 1999 to 2017. The results of this research enabled to identify companies that invested in technologies for the production of green polyethylenes (PEs) and polypropylene and the reasons for the fall in investment in R&D in the period studied. The fundamental reason for selecting Braskem for the case study is that although the company is not the largest patent holder for the technology considered, it is the only company that commercially produces green PEs in the world. Although the performance of green and fossil nominally same PEs are equivalent, commercial clients may use blends of up to 51% of green polyethylene and 49% of fossil polyethylene and still have the right to use the I'm green TM label. Moreover, the marketing which involves the sale of green PEs to companies that use polymers with the "I'm Green TM " label from Braskem appeals to environmental conscious consumers and places these companies in a noticeable position. The LOX (Sarbanes Oxley Law) is an agreement between world stock exchanges which provides for good governance, that is, the transparency of financial acts. In Brazil, it is observed in the São Paulo Stock Exchange (B3) the lack of rigorous inspection in the inventories of emission of green stocks by companies. There is no transparency in how carbon credits were gained and in the AIS -Annual Income Statement of green stocks BRKM5. As a result, this led to the investigation that culminated in the analysis of green PEs as commodities in the financial market as well as relations concerning the investors in the green stock market (BRKM5). The Annual Income Statement -AISs from 2010, when Braskem started production of green PEs, until 2018, show there was growth of revenues. Despite of the production of PEs have continued stable and the number of green PEs patents have decreased since 2014, the profits with the BRKM5 stocks increased and in 2018 extraordinary profits were obtained. In 2012 the average share price of BRKM5 was R$13.27 and in 2018, the average price reached R$ 48.93 per share, representing an increase of 268% and extraordinary profits.

“…Herrero-Solana and Jürgens (2016) further studied collaboration among countries, identified top patenting institutions, top patenting regions. De Oliveira et al (2019) tried to assess technological productivity of the technologies developed to control Boophilus Microplus tick which is a parasitic disease among cattle and causes the death of a number of cattle every year. The authors found that technological publications like patents can be important markers of production activity and development of the field of knowledge.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to highlight the use of big data through patentometric insights for R&D decision-making. Design/methodology/approach This study assesses the inventive activity through ‘big data’ patents, registered by inventors worldwide, using WIPO Patentscope database. The objective is to use the insights from patentometrics for R&D decision-making. The data from WIPO PatentScope (https://patentscope.wipo.int/search/en/search.jsf) was searched for current patent scenario in area of ‘big data’. The data was further organized and cleaned using the Google ‘OpenRefine’. Data was pre-processed to remove all null values. Cleaned data was analyzed using programming language ‘R’, MS Excel (charts and Pivot tables) and free data visualization tool called ‘Tableau Public’, to get insights for R&D decision-making. Findings The key insights included trends (patents with years of publication), top technologies trending the current space, top organizations leading in these technologies and the top inventors who are publishing patents in these technologies through leading organizations were drawn. Details in Section 5 in the paper. Research limitations/implications Global patent data is multi-lingual and spreads across a set of multiple databases. Domain experts may be required to assess, identify and extract the relevant information for analysis and visualization of multi-lingual distributed data sets. Government organizations generally have multi-dimensional goals that may be more toward societal benefits. On the other hand, the commercial companies are more focused on profit. Therefore, the performance management process has to be really effective because it is critical for getting value in the government sector. Practical implications Insights from patent analytics serve as the important input to R&D managers as well as policymakers to assess the global needs to plan the national orientation according to the global market. This will help further for R&D projects prioritization, planning, budget allocations, human capital planning and other gamut of R&D management and decision-making. Social implications Facilitation for R&D institutions (government as well as private) to formulate the research strategy for the domains or research areas to delve into. R&D decisions will be completely data-driven making them more accurate, reliable, valid and informed. These insights are very relevant for policymakers as well to facilitate the need assessment to determine the National priorities, make improvements in meeting societal country-level challenges during the resource allocation at top and subsequently at all other levels. Originality/value Data analytics of global patents in “big data” till 2019 to get insights to facilitate R&D decision-making.

Braskem is the only company in the world that produces green polyethylenes (HDPE – high density polyethylene and LLDPE – linear low density polyethylene) derived from the dehydration of sugarcane ethanol. Although the performance of green and fossil nominally same polyethylenes are equivalent, commercial clients may use blends of up to 51% of green polyethylenes and 49% of fossil polyethylenes and still have the right to use the I’m greenTM label which appeals to environmental conscious consumers and places these companies in a noticeable position. The Annual Income Statement - AISs from 2010, when Braskem started production of green PE, until 2018, show there was growth of revenues. Despite of the production of polyethylenes have continued stable and the number of green polyethylenes patents have decreased since 2014, the profits with the BRKM5 stocks increased. There is no transparency of how carbon credits were gained and in the AIS. Investments in securities in the Brazilian financial market (BRKM5 and carbon credits) are much more attractive than the investment in new patents, because they generate greater gains (268% increase in the average share price of BRKM5 from 2012 to 2018) and do not require large investments in R&D.
