This special issue seeks to deepen our understanding of the historical role of patent systems in fostering innovation and economic growth. Patents have been critical in shaping economic activity, influencing industrial policy, and promoting technological progress. However, the complexities surrounding patent systems—both in terms of their institutional development and their economic impact—warrant further scholarly exploration. This special issue aims to address such complexities and provide a comprehensive view of how patent systems have evolved and interacted with economic growth.
The focus on patent history will contribute to ongoing debates on the relationship between legal institutions and economic outcomes, offering new insights into how patents have functioned as both enablers and barriers to innovation throughout history.

To promote participation from regions normally less represented at international scientific conferences, the 20th WEHC 2024 has set up a significant support scheme for scholars who have less access to funding than those from OECD countries. Grant holders may present a paper, organise or chair a session, present a Poster, or simply attend the Congress, but priority will be given to those who will play an active part.

If mining and social and environmental responsibility seem incompatible in practice, how can we account for the rhetoric that promotes a “responsible mine”? What role(s) do technical and political discourses play in the adoption and justification of resource exploitation and production strategies? What influence do companies and experts have on these debates? Through a historical or longitudinal perspective, this issue of Entreprises et Histoire explores the intersections and interplay of actors between CSR and social changes that may or may not underpin the rhetoric of a return to mining and a convergence between the so-called “energy transition” and “ecological transition”.
