ブルネル父子のエンジニア・スピリットと特詓觪

摘要

本論文では，標題のように18～19世紀のイギリスのrn二人のエンジニア，ブルネル父子の挑戦的な事績を通rnして彼らのエンジニア・スピリットと特許観についてrn考察し，今日のわが国のエンジニアリングの担い手で、rnあるエンジニアへの何らかの教訓とすることを目的とrnする．%The father and son, Marc Isambard Brunei and Isambard Kingdom Brunei, were well known as the great engineers of England in the 19th century. They were worked in the fields of mechanical and civil engineering, which were broadly developed in the post-industrial revolution age. Marc, the father, engaged in his jobs that were relating to over twenty his patents. Isambard, the son, also engaged innovatively in the wider fields by denying the system of patent. In this paper, firstly, the engineer's spirits of the father and son have been discussed, and secondly, the above clear difference between their views on patents has been discussed. The aim of this paper is to give a chance to think how today's Japanese engineers should behave toward patents and the patent system.
