Abstract

The research about the population of individual inventors/innovators in Croatia was carried out with the aim of finding answers to the following questions: 1. How many inventions/patents in Croatia are (not) commercialized; 2. What are the reasons of (un)successful commercialization of Croatian individual inventors' inventions/patents; 3. Is there any correlation between various forms of support for inventors / patent owners and successful commercialization; 4. Could education/training contribute to the successful commercialization of inventions/patents? The research was designed and carried out on individual inventors/innovators in Croatia via combination of online questionnaire and telephone interviews. The acquired data were analysed by descriptive statistics and nonparametric inferential statistics. Based on the results of the research, the literature and practical experience, a typology of individual inventors / innovators has been created. The research limitations relate to the lack of the institutional data and literature regarding the individual inventors. In addition to practical contribution of the findings regarding the public policies, there is also a theoretical contribution to existing literature.

个人发明家是隐形的吗?

关于克罗地亚个人发明家/创新者人口的研究是为了找到以下问题的答案:克罗地亚有多少发明/专利被(未)商业化;2. 克罗地亚个人发明家的发明/专利成功商业化的原因是什么?3.对发明人/专利所有人的各种形式的支持与成功的商业化之间是否存在关联?4.教育/培训是否有助于发明/专利的成功商业化?该研究是通过在线问卷调查和电话访谈相结合的方式对克罗地亚的个人发明家/创新者进行设计和实施的。所得数据采用描述性统计和非参数推理统计进行分析。基于研究结果、文献和实践经验，建立了个体发明家/创新者的类型学。研究的局限性与缺乏关于个体发明者的机构数据和文献有关。研究结果除了对公共政策的实际贡献外，还有对现有文献的理论贡献。
