Abstract
Regional analysis of knowledge creation activities in emerging economies like India is continued to be inadequate. This paper discusses the ways in which sub-national and regional factors can affect patenting activities and examines their empirical role in the case of India. The the regional profiles of domestic patenting activities in India is observed to considerably concentrated over space. West India, North India and South India turn out to be the three most dynamic and dominating sub-national spaces in Indian domestic patenting throughout the period 1990-2010. At the state level, more than half of the number of patent applications originated from just two states, namely Delhi and Maharashtra. Empirical analysis further underscored that Indian states' patenting activities are largely shaped by the size of local markets, availability of skilled labour force, knowledge institutions and urban centres.
