Before 1852 the English patent system operated at both a domestic and a global level, allowing inventors to extend its operation beyond England to the colonies, where it interacted in territories such as Jamaica with a colonial system of patents and grants. It therefore provides one of the few examples of a workable global patent system, and an important case study of the structures that supported the development and circulation of technology within the British Atlantic during the early stages of the industrial revolution. Providing a framework of ‘tiered’ rather than ‘parallel’ powers and jurisdictions, the imperial patent system was a flexible instrument that inventors could use strategically to promote transnational technological innovation, in which people, ideas, and skills moved back and forth between Britain and colonies such as Jamaica. Patenting, which was concentrated in wealthy plantation colonies that sought greater productivity, was therefore a key part of the economic development of empire.

1857年之前在牙买加和英国大西洋的专利和发明†

1852年之前,英国的专利制度在国内和全球范围内运作,从而使发明人的业务范围从英格兰扩展到了殖民地,在英国等地与殖民地进行了专利和赠款的殖民地制度的互动。因此,它提供了可行的全球专利制度的少数几个例子之一,并为工业革命初期支持英属大西洋地区技术发展和流通的结构提供了重要的案例研究。帝国专利制度提供了一种“分层”而不是“平行”的权力和管辖权的框架,是一种灵活的工具,发明者可以战略性地使用它来促进跨国技术创新,其中,人员,思想和技能在英国和英国之间来回移动。牙买加等殖民地。
