Hybrid Innovation in Meiji Japan
Japan’s hybrid system during the Meiji era of technological modernization provides a useful laboratory for examining whether complementary mechanisms to patents induce innovation. Patents were introduced in 1885 and by 1911 1.2 million mostly non-pecuniary prizes were awarded at 8,503 competitions.
