“…Moreover, although the number of patent citations can re ect the quality and usefulness of a company's innovation output, the citation status of cutting-edge technologies is correlated with technical barriers and industry access restrictions, which will affect the reliability of the number of patent citations to characterize a company's innovation (Hall et al, 2005). Therefore, referring to existing studies, we choose to use the number of patents granted to measure the level of an enterprise's innovation output (Nagler & Sorg, 2020). Compared with utility model patents and design patents, invention patents are characterized by long research and development cycles, low imitability, and long patent approval time, which can better re ect the quality of substantive innovation of enterprises (Hagedoorn & Cloodt, 2003).…”

This paper constructs a fixed-effects model to investigate the relationship between industrial agglomeration, university-enterprise cooperation, and firm innovation using data from 2002–2019 on Chinese A-share listed companies in non-financial industries and the degree of regional agglomeration. The results of the benchmark regressions find that an increase in the level of regional industrial agglomeration reduces the innovation ability of firms, while university-enterprise cooperation enhances the innovation ability. At the same time, we find that university-enterprise cooperation plays a moderating role between industrial agglomeration and firm innovation, and university-enterprise cooperation can mitigate the decrease in innovation caused by industrial agglomeration. The above findings still hold after a series of robustness tests. Further, the results of heterogeneity tests show that the effects of industrial agglomeration and university-enterprise cooperation on firm innovation are influenced by the property rights and the location of the firm. The negative effect of industrial agglomeration on state-owned enterprises' innovation capability is more prominent in the eastern regions. However, the effect of university-enterprise cooperation on improving innovation capacity of non-state-owned enterprises is more significant in the western region.

In the global trade market, patents evolve into strategic barriers to block overseas competitors. Patent invalidity proceeding, the acknowledged countermeasure, is nevertheless a double-edge sword. Drawing on a conjunction of resource-based view theory and synergy theory, an invalidity strategy for the foreign enterprises against the barriers is provided, i.e., challenging the infringed patent cooperatively. A mediated moderating model together with samples consisting of Inter Partes Review proceedings pertaining to Chinese enterprises spanning a time period from 2012 to 2020 are introduced to empirically examine the cooperative invalidity strategy. We show that the strategy is indeed effective. Further analyses demonstrate that a foreign enterprise would receive some higher odds of the patent being invalided when cooperating with an NPE/NPEs compared to a PE/PEs. Additionally, dynamic capability mediates the relationship between the strategy and the outcome of an invalidity proceeding while patent quality plays a moderating role.

“…In the context of economic crises, as well as unstable situations in the industry, companies show similarities and differences in their reactions to innovative development, while reducing or increasing flows from investment activities [4]. Against this backdrop, some companies improve the quality of financing while reducing investment, while others increase investment in the face of economic downturns.…”

Stimulation and improvement of innovative development is an extremely important component of economic growth in an economy, along with the companies’ competitiveness in stagnating industries, which is especially relevant for companies at the maturity stage of the life cycle, where the risk of transition to the decline stage is highest. Without new developments and a sustainable innovation strategy, a company loses its leading position in the industry and misses new opportunities, leading it to the stage of stability and decline. Thus, it is important to study the factors that contribute to R&D intensity and encourage innovations in detail. This study investigates the impact of high level and quality of companies’ patent activityon their financial potential in order to maintain stable innovation performance in the medium term. The sample comprises companies from the printer and camera sector between 2007 and 2020. The determinants of innovation expansion that characterize the technological readiness and market potential of firms to maintain their leading position in a highly competitive market are identified, using a case study method using the example of Canon and its competitor Xerox. The data are collected from Bloomberg and Orbis Patent Database. The results show that while high innovation activity is an important driver of growth, it does not always lead to better financial performance in the earlier stages of the life cycle. The study contributes to the literature by examining different characteristics of innovation activity and life cycle stages through the lens of external economic changes, which brings transparency and clarity in understanding the possible problems that may result from using already disclosed innovations of competitors as well as disclosing one’s own intellectual property rights. The study proves that the greatest effect of innovation activity is observed in companies whose R&D expenditures are close to the industry average values along with diversification of revenue. The results of the study can help policy makers, managers and shareholders to build effective corporate governance to achieve strategic goals and minimize the risks of making wrong management decisions in R&D investments.
