Abstract
The negotiations with other firms (opponents) such as licensing are likely to take action as a routine-work of certain actions. It will make decisions in some paradoxical situation not only patent infringement lawsuit, but also cross-licensing negotiations in strategic business. It should be noted that inventions were regarded as only performance of RD we shall call them inventions for patent strategy. So then, we picked out for several US and Japanese semiconductor manufacturers, and so our analysis separated out the number of inventions motivated by technological strategy within the whole set of inventions. Unlike other types of property, IP (intellectual property) assets lack clear property lines and every type of intellectual property you can own comes with connections to other valuable innovations. These ownership rights are also exactly changing. They are embedded in a dynamic technology context, one in which new innovations and new advances are constantly added. One of the best ways to examine that context is observing the legal property provided by patent citations, the references to the prior IP on which the patented inventions build. Patent citations are very important because they make the relationships among technologies and related property rights. The objective is to show that firms make inventions not only on technological factors, but also on patent strategy. Simple analysis method is proposed to identify how many non-internal inventions are filed for patents.
Highlights
Patent is an important resource for many firms, yet its importance has not been widely recognized in the business administration until now
This study examined the hypothesis 1 that the higher the frequency of patent filing, the higher the self-citation ratio in the patents filed for a period of time in which a firm generated inventions for technological strategy
It became clear from the follow-up research that the outliers in Figure 2 may well be engaged in inventions for patent strategy
Summary
Patent is an important resource for many firms, yet its importance has not been widely recognized in the business administration until now. The context of the idea of this paper has grown along with the contents of the RBV (resource based view), attributing a firms sustainable competitive advantage to using the resources that meet certain criteria, such as the Capability [1], and VRIO1 [2]. The basic idea behind the resource based view (RBV) is that there is a significant positive correlation, in some cases a temporal causation, between certain firms’ resources and certain measures of firms’ performances. Resource based model assumes that strategic resources should be heterogeneous compared to other firms within an industry. This paper analyzes corporate actions such as inventions, patent applications and licensing activities. This thesis aims to show that firms make inventions for technological factors, and for licensing factors. This thesis would identify that many non-internal inventions are filed for patents
