Influences of ISMIR and MIREX Research on Technology Patents

Much of the current Music Information Retrieval (MIR) research aims to contribute to the field by creating practical music applications or algorithms that can be used as part of such applications. Understanding how academic research results influence and translate to commercial products can be useful for MIR researchers, especially when we try to measure the impact of our research. This study aims to improve our understanding of the commercial influence of academic MIR research by analyzing the patents citing publications from ISMIR (International Society for Music Information Retrieval) Conference proceedings and its associated MIREX (Music Information Retrieval Evaluation eXchange) MIR algorithm trials. In this paper, we provide our preliminary analyses of the relevant patents as well as the ISMIR publications that are referenced in those patents.
