Abstract

México registró un crecimiento económico e industrial muy importante entre 1940 y 1970. Esta experiencia estuvo acompañada de un proceso interesante de creación y difusión de tecnologías como muestra la actividad de patentamiento nacional. Las organizaciones de educación superior establecidas en el país probablemente participaron de ese proceso, sin embargo, pocos esfuerzos se realizaron para generar y aplicar conocimiento con utilidad comercial como lo refleja su prácticamente nulo registro de patentes. En contraste, un cierto nivel de patentamiento se observó proveniente de universidades extranjeras, las cuales aprovecharon las condiciones económicas existentes. En este artículo presentamos un recuento de la actividad de patentamiento de estas organizaciones educativas, comprendiendo que la ausencia de patentes por las organizaciones de educación superior mexicanas fue el resultado de los incentivos establecidos por la ley de patentes de la época, los cuales obstaculizaron o fomentaron muy débilmente la propensión a patentar de estas organizaciones/ México registered a major economic and industrial expansion between 1940 and 1970. This experience was accompanied by an interesting process of creation and diffusion of technologies as shown national patenting activity. Educational organizations established in the country were probably part of that process, but they made few efforts to generate and apply commercial knowledge, as is shown for their virtually inexistent patent record. In contrast, a certain level of patenting was observed from foreign colleges which took advantage of existing economic conditions. In this paper we present an account of the patenting activity of these educational organizations, realizing that the absence of patents by Mexican schools was a result of the incentives provided by the patent law of the time, incentives that hindered or weakly promoted the propensity to patent of these organizations.
