N2 - In an earlier study the focus was on the differences and similarities in patent practices and their discriminatory implications among the United States, Japan, Germany and Britain from a corporate perspective. Here, the impact of foreign patents on each national economy is examined from a macroeconomic point of view. Findings suggest that discriminatory patent practices in these countries have affected their economic growths in some predictable ways, given their respective domestic technological infrastructure.
