dc.description.abstract | The paper analyses Norwegian 19th century patentees. A special focus is on the affiliation or
relationship of the patentees to the manufacturing industries, business and the wider economy. A
main question is whether the inventors were what might be called ‘amateurs’ working
independently, or ‘professionals’ working closer to firms or institutions. A main finding is that even
the individual patentees, that comprised the majority of all patentees, had strong associations with industry, and the distinction between ‘professionals’ and ‘amateurs’ is not all that useful. | no_NO |
