The regional analysis of the patent dataset (see Figures S9&10) included CIDs that are unique to specific regions, such as agrochemicals present only in China, Europe or the US, or those unique to only two regions, such as China and Europe but not US. The analysis covering all possible regional subsets and can be found in ULPatentTrends ; custom queries can be formed from the CID lists. Examples for the agrochemical list are given in the TOC graphic.
