Abstract. The present work characterizes and evaluates the behavior of patenting activity in Mexico during the industrial protectionist regime of 1940 to 1970 and the economic liberalization regime between 1995 and 2015. In order to carry out a contrasting analysis between periods patent data are grouped by technological sectors according to the International Patent Classification (IPC), which allows for consistent analyzes in a temporal or spatial manner. The comparison of the evolution and structures of patenting between periods suggests, in the aggregation area exposed, a continuity in the direction of the propensity to patent both resident and non-resident holders in the determined technological fields. This shows that the technological development of the country has maintained the same pattern during both economic regimes.
