description This paper analyzes 27,700 patented inventions held by 25 multinational enterprises (MNEs). These MNEs hold the highest number of Canadian patents. The study reveals that R&D and patenting activities are highly centralized, but patenting is much more centralized than R&D activity. Patents are mostly secured by the MNEs' headquarters when an appreciable share of R&D is carried out at foreign locations. R&D facilities of most Amcrican MNEs arc concentrated in only two or three countries, while Europeans show a larger dispersion pattern. On average, foreign R&D accounts for 7% of patents for American MNEs and 26% for European MNEs. The two Japanese MNEs show that R&D is still a highly centralized activity in Japan.
