Abstract
The paper presents patent regulations in the territory of the Republic of Croatia from the middle of
the 19th century to the end of the Second World War. The chronology of the protection of inventions
in the Habsburg Monarchy is shown, as well as the connection between the constitutional changes
of 1851 and 1867 with the changes in patent regulations, and also the changes in the Customs and
Trade Agreement that led to the complete separation of Austrian and Hungarian patents during the
1890s. The role of Austro-Hungarian diplomacy in the creation and subsequent revisions of the Paris
Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property from 1883 is especially discussed. An overview
of all decrees, orders and laws in the field of patent protection in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia is
given. The main author of these was dr. Janko Šuman. The last chapter provides a brief review of the
Croatian State Patent Office, which was established during the NDH, so far completely neglected in
historiographical research.
