Abstract

The paper contains an analysis of the patenting activity of pharmaceutical companies in the UK, both the global evolution of pharmaceutical patenting during the years 1951 to 1977 and the fate of the patents published between 1951 and 1961. Further is studied: how much companies vary in their patenting policy and whether this is correlated with their profitability, as well as the amount of licensing going on between pharmaceutical companies.
