In recent years, it is not only a researcher, or a developer, who is important for technology innovation, but increasingly important there have become the micro and macro environment of the institution/company. Since, many times, technology innovation requires cooperation within the business microenvironment and supportive legal, political, economic, social or environmental factors. As analogies in Japan, USA, India, or China, also the European Community has to respond adequately to this trend through supportive legislation, management, infrastructure and cooperation. The key research question of this analysis is, how big is the difference in technological innovation/patenting between developed and developing countries of the EU and why? Also, the selected issues and challenges of technological innovation and management create the input into this systemic study of technology patenting in the EU countries since 1980.
