Summary/Abstract: The author attempts to show the role of the patent system in the internationalization of diffusion of technical knowledge. The purpose is to analyse the use of international technical knowledge made available through patent systems by Polish companies that are inventively active. To accomplish it, research was carried out based on a quantitative analysis of the so-called patent citations, included in the technical documentation submitted for the protection of inventions. Conclusions resulting from the research show a high degree of internationalization of the diffusion of technical knowledge in relation to scientific and technical publications and a low one when the existing technical solutions are the basis.
