Resumen

In this article we combine the insights provided by the study of Spanish patenting performance in the United States with further evidence on sectoral innovative strengths. This analysis unveils an image of Spanish innovative strengths not revealed by the more common use of innovation input indicators, specially R&D. A possible explanation for this divergence may lie in the existence of two different structures of innovation in the Spanish industry.
