The Geography of Patenting in India: Patterns and Determinants
Published By: Forum for Global Knowledge Sharing | Published Date: October, 12 , 2013This study examines the regional profiles of patenting activities in India. The
number of most dynamic sub-national spaces in patent applications is found to be limited to
just two to three regions or countries. Regionally, West India, North India and South India
mostly dominated the patenting activities during 1990?2010. The patent performance is
highly concentrated among individual countries: the two leading states, namely Maharashtra
and Delhi accounted for more than half of total patent applications filed in India in the study
period. Empirical analysis further emphasized that states patenting activities are shaped by
the size of local markets, availability of skilled labour force, knowledge institutions and
urban centres.
