Abstract

The purpose of the paper is to determine the volume and geographical directions of emigration of Polish inventors in years 2004–2012. An analysis of patent applications filed in years 2004–2012 under the international procedure by residents from Europe, North America, Australia as well as the largest economies of Asia and South America has shown that in years 2004–2012 a total of 962 inventors of Polish origin lived in 46 countries covered by the analysis. Their main direction of migration was Europe (mainly Germany, the UK, Switzerland and the Netherlands), where a total of 581 authors of technical inventions lived and North America (mainly the US), which attracted 363 Polish inventors. In Asia, South America and Australia, the presence of Polish inventors was incidental.
