This paper is concerned with the degree of successful exploitation of publicly-funded research and the means available for its improvements, and in particular studies the commercialization of university inventions in the U.K. and to some extent in Sweden. University inventions is an umbrella term which includes polytechnics, governments research establishments and Research Associations. though in fact, most of the inventions considered come from universities.
This article sets out to use statistics on the number of patent applications as a basis for discussing and explaining the industrial development trend in Sweden during the period 1925-1936 from various standpoints. The following topics are examined: The extent and depth of the Depression; Structural changes; Foreign activity in Swedish trade and industry ; and the increase in systematic research by firms. The first two of these topics were examined in Part I of the article. The second two are dealt with here in Part II.

The processing ofpatent documents by various information agencies leads to the indexing ofdocuments according to several classtfication or coordinate indexing systems. This multt-lingual Indexing has both its advantages and disadvantages.
Graphtcal representation of the number of patent families in the year of first filing, or of the cumulativ,e number of patent families since a certain year. gives useful information regarding the inventions made in a field ofcoherentsubjects. This provides R & D units with a better base for their policy than corresponding surveys of journal articles.
The disadvantages are that more than one information language must be studied, and that the search time increases. Bestdes. the maintenance and use of a multi-lingual system IS more costly. The advantages are the posstbtlity of selecting in each case the most efficient language or of makmg multi-lingual searches.
