“…Despite the scarcity of studies associating the number of trademarks and the capacity of innovation [30][31][32], it is possible to reinforce this relationship from studies that relate the value of the trademarks with the market value of the companies that own these trademarks [33][34][35], as well as their financial performance [36,37]. Additionally, empirical evidence suggests including brands among the metrics to model the relationship with innovation capacity [34,38].…”

The main objective of the present research is to identify the knowledge flows responsible for promoting the innovation capacity of Portuguese companies. Specifically, we intend to identify which variables influence Portuguese innovation capacity from a macro and micro perspective, so that we can establish possible ways to promote open innovation (OI) in Portugal since Portuguese companies have little maturity in terms of open innovation when compared to companies in other countries of the European Union. To achieve this goal, the methodological design used consisted of two phases. In the first phase, a literature review was conducted to identify the main variables associated with innovation performance. After identifying the most influential variables in the literature, in a second phase, data were collected through three distinct databases, namely Pordata, the Portuguese Tax and Customs Authority, and SABI. To identify the most influential variables in the Portuguese innovation capacity, the multivariate multiple regression technique based on the ordinary least square (OLS) method was applied. The results of the present research bring empirical evidence that researchers dedicated to R&D from non-profit institutions (i.e., inbound OI) and researchers from firms (i.e., outbound OI) exert a significant influence on innovation capacity so the development of an optimal strategy for the strengthening of open innovation by Portuguese firms should take into account the use and combination of these two specific knowledge flows. In this sense, the originality of this research lies in the fact that it is the first attempt to understand the possible implications of the determinants of innovation capacity on open innovation, from an exploratory study concerning the flows of knowledge.

“…The trademark is effective as an entry barrier, but protects a non-novel product, process or service, with the result that the firm might lose its incentive to continue to innovate in relation to changing market and technological conditions Source : Davies and Davies (2011) According to (Brahem, M.,El Harbi, S. and Grolleau, G., 2013) which study the determinants of trademark registration among Tunisian apparel firms . They analyze 116 questionnaires with a response rate of 70 %.…”

Many studies have been focused on innovation and patents, less emphasis is given to trademarks, even though these intellectual property assets are more widely used by firms of all types across the whole economy. Various international treaties have been established in order to harmonize the different trademark's registration procedures across countries, and to simplify the application process for applicants targeting multiple countries. The aim of this paper is to make a review of some of the empirical studies done by scholars with trademarks in focus. Which are the motives that urge firms to register a trademark. How are trademarks related to innovation and firm"s size. At the end the paper concludes with some key messages on trademarks and their use by firms.

“…When turning our attention to trademarks, analogous arguments can also be applied. Thus, filing trademarks demonstrates a start-up's degree of market and growth orientation and its willingness to protect its current and future marketing efforts from the impairment of others (Krasnikov, Mishra and Orozco 2009;Sandner and Block, 2011;Brahem, El Harbi and Grolleau 2013). Like patents, trademarks have been found to be positively related to firm survival (Srinivasan, Lilien, and Rangaswamy 2008;Helmers and Rogers 2010), firm valuations (Sandner and Block 2011; Greenhalgh and Rogers 2012) and access to external funds (Block et al 2014).…”

Approaching the relationship between entrepreneurship and innovation from different angles

Entrepreneurship and innovation can be viewed as different sides of the same coin. Innovation is more related to novelty creation whereas entrepreneurship is more related to value creation. In other words, innovation is the source of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship allows innovation to flourish and to realize its economic and social value (Zhao 2005). The challenge is to understand the whole process from initial ideas to lasting realisations but, unfortunately, there is no common sense about how such process shall look like (Brem 2011). This dissertation covers a wide variety of topics relevant to the research into innovation and entrepreneurship and aims to represent a step forward in the understanding of the relationship between both concepts. This dissertation is structured in 6 chapters, being Chapter 1 devoted to present the research focus, objectives and structure. The main body is organised in 4 chapters as follows: Chapter 2 investigates Information and Communication Technology (ICT) adoption/usage frequency by different entrepreneurship types and the impact of this adoption/usage frequency on their performance, which is captured by earnings. Chapter 3 explores the interrelation between the share of the self-employed workforce in a given country that can be considered ‘entrepreneurial’ –which is associated with the share of Kirznerian entrepreneurs– and trademark registration at the country level. Chapter 4 examines whether the innovative nature of an economy as expressed by its level of R&D expenditure, affects the relative weight of different self-employment types based on occupational status and start-up motive. Chapter 5 analyses how the interplay between country R&D expenditure and Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) laws affect entrepreneurs’ performance at the individual-level. The final chapter presents a summary of the main findings and implications of the work, and gives an outlook on future research areas on the various topics investigated in this dissertation. The empirical analysis is based on microdata drawn from the Fifth and Sixth waves of the European Working Conditions Survey –EWCS 2010 and 2015– (Eurofound). Data on registered trademarks at the country-level is derived from the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). Data on R&D expenditure at the country-level is derived from Eurostat. Finally, data on IPR protection in each economy is derived from the World Economic Forum's Executive Opinion Survey (WEF-EOS). As regards empirical methods, linear regressions and discrete choice models (binary, ordered and non-ordered) are used.
