Resumen

El objetivo de este artículo es exponer el estado de la cuestión sobre los estudios de género en patentes. En la introducción, se detalla el interés de esta revisión y se hacen unas breves notas sobre la naturaleza de los sistemas de patentes. A continuación, se relacionan una serie de investigaciones, sobre todo en su vertiente teórica: primero en relación con el problema de las brechas de género en patentes y, más adelante, sobre el problema de los sesgos de género. A esto se dedica el segundo y tercer capítulo, respectivamente. Se proponen, seguidamente, algunas líneas de investigación que pueden tener interés futuro, olvidadas o apenas tratadas en la bibliografía que se reseña. Finalmente, se exponen media docena de conclusiones.
