Abstract: Portuguese creoles were instrumental in bringing sub-Saharan Africa into the intercontinental systems of the Atlantic and Indian Ocean. In the Atlantic Islands a distinctive creole culture emerged, made up of Christian emigrants from Portugal, Jewish exiles and African slaves. These creole polities offered a base for coastal traders and became politically influential in Africa - in Angola creating their own mainland state. Connecting the African interior with the world economy was largely on African terms and the lack of technology transfer meant that the economic gap between Africa and the rest of the world inexorably widened. African slaves in Latin America adapted to a society already creolised, often through adroit forms of cultural appropriation and synthesis. In eastern Africa Portuguese worked within existing creolised Islamic networks but the passage of their Indiamen through the Atlantic created close links between the Indian Ocean and Atlantic commercial systems.

The British Technology Group, an organization at the forefront of technology transfer, has recently concluded another highly successful year with expansion in all areas of its business. The key to this is the combination and breadth of technical, commercial, patenting and legal skills which are encompassed in a single organization. The group has recently taken a number of initiatives to license its total portfolio of inventions more widely internationally as well as promoting new areas of business, all directed at consolidating its position as the leading technology transfer organization in the world.

Traditional justifications for patents are all based on direct or indirectcontribution to the creation of new products. Patents serve the socialinterest if they provide not just invention, but innovation the world wouldnot otherwise have. Non-practicing entities (NPEs) as well asproduct-producing companies can sometimes provide such innovation, eitherdirectly, through working the patent or transfer of technology to otherswho do, or indirectly, when others copy the patented innovation. Theavailable evidence suggests, however, that patent licensing demands andlawsuits from NPEs are normally not cases that involve any of theseactivities.Some scholars have argued that patents can be valuable even withouttechnology transfer because the ability to exclude others from the marketmay drive commercialization that would not otherwise occur. We demonstratethat even if various commercialization theories can sometimes justifypatent protection, they cannot justify most NPE lawsuits or licensingdemands.
