摘要：The aim of the paper is to analyze the use of existing legally
protected solutions an. publications made available through patent systems
for the development of further biotechnological inventions. For its
implementation, was conducted research based on the so-called patent
citations of two kinds - to literature and previously published, other
patents. For the needs of the paper, technical documentation of 88 patents
in the resources of the Polish Patent Office and Espacenet was analyzed.
The study includes 40 Polish biotechnology companies with significant
innovation activity. The results of the conducted research allow
to formulate two conclusions. First, the knowledge obtained from patent
resources plays an important role in the innovation process of inventions in
the biotechnology sector. Secondly, this knowledge is characterized by
a high degree of internationalization, first of all are cited foreign inventions
and source literature, domestic citations appear relatively rarely. Among
observed references, citing American achievements plays a dominant role
– this applies to both literature and inventions, which suggests that the US
patent system is the main source of patent knowledge for Polish
biotechnology companies.
