The article aims to analyze the existence of patenting convergence among Brazilian microregions. In order to confirm this hypothesis, a spatial panel model is estimated for patent data from 2000 to 2011, taking into account the control of internal and external regional factors that affect the growth rates of per capita patenting. In addition to micro-regions, mesoregions and the Areas of Influence of Cities Project (REGIC), the paper tests the robustness of estimations in order to check the Modifiable Areal Unit Problem (MAUP). Two main findings emerge: there is a convergence process or technological catch-up among Brazilian micro-regions; and spatial dependence is sensitive to different geographical scales when we study the growth of per capita patenting in Brazil.
