Abstract:Research background and purpose: Trademark and patent data are widely recognized as key indicators of innovation and creativity. In recent years, the scope and analytical value of these datasets have expanded considerably, enabling the generation of novel insights and enhancing the informational content of intellectual property records. This study examines the principal themes underlying the use of trademark and patent data, demonstrating their relevance and applicability across diverse areas of management and business research. Moreover, the study identifies the most salient topics and uncovers potential research gaps that warrant further investigation and hold promise for advancing the understanding and application of innovation metrics. ; Design/methodology/approach: This exploratory - descriptive study employs bibliometric methods to analyze scholarly publications on patent and trademark data. Co-word and thematic evolution analyses were conducted to identify trends and intellectual structures within the literature. Author-assigned keywords were systematically extracted and analyzed. Data were retrieved from the Web of Science (WoS) database, covering the period 2012-2023, with the search limited to the business, administration, and management category. ; Findings: The findings demonstrate that the growing relevance of scientific databases is closely linked to the strategic use of patent and trademark data in driving knowledge accumulation and innovation insights. The results of the study demonstrate that there is a significant scope for further exploration of a variety of concepts and topics related to interdisciplinary fields within the datasets of patents and trademarks. ; The findings of this review illustrate that the emergence of key themes associated with the accumulation of scientific databases is driven by the utilization of patent and trademark datasets. These include the terms "innovation", "research and development", "performance", "technology", "absorptive capacity" and "knowledge". The themes of "entrepreneurship", "sustainability", "leadership", "organizational change", "self-efficacy", "self-employment", "social capital", "commercialization" and "creativity" are evident in both the patent and trademark datasets and can be distinguished from other themes in literature. ; Value added and limitations: This review adds value by identifying dominant research areas, influential publications, and emerging trends, while also highlighting understudied topics and knowledge gaps that offer opportunities for future research and strategic advancement of the field. A potential limitation is the reliance on a single academic database.
