# What is IPGOD? The Intellectual Property Government Open Data (IPGOD) includes over 100 years of registry data on all intellectual property (IP) rights administered by IP Australia. It also has derived information about the applicants who filed these IP rights, to allow for research and analysis at the regional, business and individual level. This is the 2019 release of IPGOD. # How do I use IPGOD? IPGOD is large, with millions of data points across up to 40 tables, making them too large to open with Microsoft Excel. Furthermore, analysis often requires information from separate tables which would need specialised software for merging. We recommend that advanced users interact with the IPGOD data using the right tools with enough memory and compute power. This includes a wide range of programming and statistical software such as Tableau, Power BI, Stata, SAS, R, Python, and Scalar. # IP Data Platform IP Australia is also providing free trials to a cloud-based analytics platform with the capabilities to enable working with large intellectual property datasets, such as the IPGOD, through the web browser, without any installation of software.

Please check the data dictionary for each table before use. ### Data quality improvements Data quality has been improved across all tables. * Null values are simply empty rather than '31/12/9999'. * All date columns are now in ISO format 'yyyy-mm-dd'. * All indicator columns have been converted to Boolean data type (True/False) rather than Yes/No, Y/N, or 1/0. * All tables are encoded in UTF-8. * All tables use the backslash \ as the escape character. * The applicant name cleaning and matching algorithms have been updated. We believe that this year's method improves the accuracy of the matches. Please note that the "ipa_id" generated in IPGOD 2019 will not match with those in previous releases of IPGOD.

This is the second edition of the IPGOD 2018 data release with additional data items and significant improvements to data quality.

Intellectual Property Longitudinal Research Data (IPLORD) is the annual snapshot of the stocks and flows of intellectual property (IP) rights for 362,990 Australian and 253,285 international applicants over 20 years. Researchers can use IPLORD to profile individual applicants and use statistical modelling on the data to come up with value-added insights to inform policies on innovation.
