Patents, Sugar Technology and Sub-Imperial Institutions in Nineteenth-Century Cuba (2010)

unapi

The article discusses historical research on innovation and the patent system in 19th-century Cuba. According to the authors, Cuba was the most important Spanish territory between 1830 and 1880, and was the center of foreign patenting activities and technology transfer. Through what the authors call "sub-imperial" agents and institutions such as the elite class of Creole sugar planters and economic organizations like the junta de fomento and the Sociedad Económica, it is argued that Cuba's sugar industry tapped into the trend of globalizing technology markets and became the most innovative Spanish territory.
