The Chilean Case, 1840s–1910s
from Part II - Americas
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 March 2020
This chapter studies the effects produced by salient features of the first Chilean patent law of 1840 on the establishment of different innovative business cultures. In particular it looks at the effects of the dual protection strategy of the Chilean patent law in protecting equivalently both “inventions” (subject matter was delimited by absolute novelty, without geographic constraints) and “introductions” (subject matter was delimited by its geographic novelty of use in Chile) in the period up to the 1870s. The chapter tests for a structural change in the granting of innovative patents after the protection for introduction patents was repealed in 1872, and characterizes the Chilean culture of dispute within innovative businesses in the period of 1877–1910, by examining the characteristics of the oppositions raised against patent applications.
