The long-lived foreign patent grant ratio increased from about 10 percent in 1877 to more than 30 percent in the mid-1880s. The average annual long-lived foreign patent grant ratio came to 27 percent in the period between 1877 and 1914. 19 After the end of the First World War, the annual share of foreign patents among all German long-lived patents returned quickly back to values above 30 percent. From the late 1920s onwards, however, the relative foreign patenting activities in Germany declined continuously.
Even so, firms will seek patent protection only in those foreign countries where two conditions hold: the potential market for their innovation is large, and the probability of imitation is high. Hence, a foreign patent indicates not only the country of origin, but also the destination of the technological transfer. Analyzing foreign patenting activities in the late twentieth century, Eaton and Khortum come to the conclusion that “foreign patent applications roughly reflect the scale of research activity in the source country.
However, the historical data do not reveal the actual technological advantages of Japan and Finland, which were not yet welldeveloped in the interwar period. 41 This finding suggests that technological transfer between Germany and Switzerland was intense and bi-directional. 42 CONCLUSIONS In this chapter, we used both patents’ individual life span and foreign patenting activities in Germany to identify the most valuable patents of the twenty-one most innovative countries (except for Germany) from the European Core, the European periphery and overseas between 1877 and 1932.
