Counting Inventors and Assignees on Where Innovation Happens map
Hi all,
I was wondering how patents, inventors, and assignees are counted on the "Where Innovation Happens" map here: PatentsView
It seems that for each patent, there can be multiple inventors located in multiple geographic areas. So if a patent has an inventor in both New York, NY and San Antonio, TX, would that one patent be counted for both cities and states? And if an inventor appears in multiple patents, would he/she be counted once in the "inventors" category once or multiple times?
Any information would be greatly appreciated!
