Abstract

This paper presents data on the patenting practice in Brazil and contributes to the understanding of some characteristics of the Brazilian National System of Innovation that possibly other countries with the same level of industrial development share with it. In particular, the paper throws some light on the fact that in Brazil there is a dominant share of patents on the hands of non-residents, almost all non-residents are transnational companies (TNCs) and most of them are from the USA, Western Europe and Japan. Besides this, we show that indigenous companies’ strategies are not straight forwardly translated into patents and those indigenous companies, which were acquired by TNCs, reduced their patenting activities. This article focuses on ‘electrical engineering’ technological domain – electrical components, audiovisual, telecommunications, information technology and semiconductors – and ‘chemical’ technological domain – organic fine chemicals, macromolecular chemistry, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, and biotechnology – using data from PATSTAT.
