This paper shows a sistematization of the data for granted patents from 1830 to 1891 in Brazil and, it argues that there is a strict relationship between those patents and the contemporary productive structure. At the same time, it is suggested a relationship between the number and diversification of patents and, the scientific-technological development of Brazil or in some cases, from abroad due to the internationalization of the national system of patents. The paper comprises four sections. In the first, it is made a survey of the literature on technological innovation. The second section shows a brief account on the evolution of the national and international legislation of patents for the chosen period of time. In the third section, after a characterizing the economic structure of Brazil on the ninetenth century, it is analyzed its relationship with the granted patents. Finally, it will be shown some conclusions and implications from the previous sections.
