Abstract

This paper aims to answer the following research questions: What countries are the geographical destinations of technological knowledge generated by Spanish inventors? What sectors take advantage of the technological knowledge produced in a different sector? What are the characteristics of the patented knowledge more intensively diffused? Our methodology rests on a bibliometric analysis of patent granted by the Patent Office from the US (USPTO) to Spanish inventors. We found some relevant aspects that might be useful to think about technological policy favouring knowledge diffusion
