“…Indeed, the appropriability of the R&D output, in terms of patents co-owned, is higher for collaboration with research organizations than with other kind of partners, especially in the same industry (Belderbos et al , 2014). Similar conclusions are reached by the paper by Huang and Cheng (2015) which shows that firms conducting R&D collaborations with universities and research institutions are more likely to patent innovative outcomes. Also vertical collaborations with other firms (i.e.…”

“…The relationship between employee skills and patenting has been statistically proven in a small pool of papers. At a macro level, Marrocu et al (2013) reveal that human capital plays a significant role in generating inflows of knowledge relevant to regional existing knowledge base, measured as the yearly average of patents per million inhabitants; while at a firm level, Huang and Cheng (2015) demonstrate that companies with a higher proportion of scientists and engineers have a higher inclination towards patenting. In the same vein, a study carried out in a Chinese multinational subsidiary shows that local talented engineers directly contribute to successful patent applications (Li et al , 2013).…”

Purpose Considering that SMEs are widely recognized as important innovators and, in the past years, have registered increasing levels of patenting, the purpose of this paper is to unveil the impact of both internal and external knowledge sourcing on SME patenting performance and test the moderating role of formal plan for innovation and absorptive capacity. Design/methodology/approach The authors propose an econometric approach based on a Hurdle Count Data Model which allows the authors not only to overcome problems related to the count dependent variables often assuming zero values, but also to separate patent propensity from patent portfolio size. Findings This methodology puts in evidence that an internal factor (i.e. employee skills for innovation) significantly influences SME patent propensity, while an external factor (i.e. open innovation with business partners) impacts SME portfolio size. Moreover, both formal plan for innovation and absorptive capacity play an important moderating role. Originality/value This paper embraces a knowledge perspective to investigate the determinants of SME patenting, which contributes to the knowledge-based view of the firm in the SME domain. Moreover, differently from most studies in the area of patenting which adopt a macro-level perspective and rely on secondary data, it assumes a firm-level approach and bases on primary data, which contributes to make it particularly distinctive.

“…As a strategic tool, IP helps companies to build competitive advantage by erecting entry barriers, protecting brands, forming industry standards, improving bargaining power and maintaining freedom of market action (Pitkethly, 2001; Reitzig, 2004), thus improving the performance (Suh and Oh, 2015). Strategic IP management allows companies to select focused strategies in pursuing their goals, for example, firms choose whether or not to use IP protection (Huang and Cheng, 2015), where to apply for IP (Di Minin and Bianchi, 2011), and where to file a lawsuit in face of violation (Beukel and Zhao, 2018).…”

Pursuing justice or protecting local firms? Shenzhen courts move beyond judicial local protectionism

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Emerging economies represent a vivid market for firms worldwide who are massively investing in R&D. This tendency is generating an increase in the number of intellectual property (IP) registrations and is expanding the markets for IP. However, emerging economies tend to show unfair judicial systems, being unable to ensure IP rights protection, and to allow companies to benefit from their inventions. China is one of the most important emerging economies, and both domestic and foreign companies are investing a considerable amount of money in R&D and IP activities, especially in innovative cities such as Shenzhen. In this study, we aim to investigate whether the Chinese judicial system, using the city of Shenzhen as our empirical context, is fair in protecting IP rights. We use data about IP litigations from 2014 to 2016, targeting the three most relevant outcomes: settlement, judgment, and the amount of damage awards recognized by the court. The study shows no evidence that Shenzhen courts rule in favor of local firms, and the findings show consistency regarding settlement, the winning probability in judgment, and amount of damage awards. Accordingly, we derive managerial implications demonstrating that Shenzhen is a very international arena and firms act following the classic strategic theories of innovation appropriation.

“…A firm's innovation strategy is the central to fostering innovation competence, which in turn leads to the development of new products and technologies [11]. However, innovation is characterized by a high level of uncertainty, given the difficulties in forecasting the performance Drilling and costs of a new technology, as well as the reaction of users to it [12].…”

“…Moreover, Dubaric et al [35] employed patent application figures as performance indicators representing evolution and level of maturity of wind power technology. Huang and Cheng [11], in turn, proposed a patenting behavior framework to identify the primary factors determining the propensity to file a patent application. Beyond examining patent applications filed by firms, there are also relevant studies addressing how universities are protecting their inventions through patents.…”

In recent years, Brazil has emerged as a leading offshore producer with extensive proven reserves yet to be explored. As a matter of fact, the discovery of huge oil deposits in the pre-salt layer of the country's Southeastern coast is motivating oil and gas exploration in great depths in Brazil, thereby also generating increasing demand for drilling capabilities. This study addresses the technological implications of this discovery by examining patent information. Here, we provide empirical evidence indicating an increased interest for patenting technologies designed to enhance not only ultra-deep drilling capabilities and build and maintain oil wells, but also technologies to increase oil production from formations.
