The nexus between science and industry: evidence from faculty inventions (2012, background): “Academic inventions are considered to be among the most important sources of knowledge for innovation activities in the U.S. (Cohen et al., 2002) and Europe (Arundel and Geuna, 2004).”
APPROPRIABILITY OF INNOVATION RESULTS: AN EMPIRICAL STUDY IN SPANISH MANUFACTURING FIRMS (2007, methodology): “Among others, the fact that they represent an objective measure of performance of R&D employees (Levin et al., 1987:798, Harabi, 1995:989, Cohen et al., 2002:1358; Blind et al. 2006:657), they improve the position of companies in negotiations with other companies (Levin et al., 1987:798; Harabi,…”
Technology and the diffusion of renewable energy (2011, background): “Even today, Japanese patents tend to have fewer claims than US patents (Cohen et al. 2002) 13 Okada (1992) finds that Japanese patents granted to foreigners have 4.9 times as many claims as patents granted to domestic inventors.”
Sequential Innovation, Patents, And Imitation (2009, neutral): “Second, we show that the natural experiment in software protection is difficult to reconcile with the static model.”
Used, Blocking and Sleeping Patents: Empirical Evidence from a Large-Scale Inventor Survey (2016, background): “Blocking patent applications filed to protect other inventions, ften referred to as ‘blocking to fence’ patents (Cohen et al., 2002), orrespond to our notion of strategic non-use.”
Modeling a Paradigm Shift: From Producer Innovation to User and Open Collaborative Innovation (2010, background): “When taken together, the findings of these empirical studies make it very clear that users have long been doing and continue to do a lot of commercially significant product and process development and modification in many fields.”
Micro- and Macro-Dynamics of Open Innovation with a Quadruple-Helix Model (2019, background): “The engagement of universities in innovation is categorized as a formal way of out‐licensing university patents, spin‐offs, collaborative R&D, and an informal way of communication [43].”
Microfoundations of Internal and External Absorptive Capacity Routines (2011, background): “Identifying and recognizing value of externally generated knowledge • Gatekeepers (Cohen and Levinthal 1990) • Probing (Brown and Eisenhardt 1998) • Mining patent literature (Cohen et al. 2002) and industry trade magazines (IDEO) • Market research, end user surveys, informal interactions with indust”
Fishing upstream: Firm innovation strategy and university research alliances (2007, result): “This result is consistent with results from the Yale and Carnegie Mellon industrial R&D surveys (Cohen et al., 2002a,b; Klevorick et al., 1995) as well as other studies of innovation networks in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries (Powell et al., 1996; Zucker et al., 2002).”
Negative emissions—Part 3: Innovation and upscaling (2018, background): “Public R&D is particularly important as there are many open questions, needs for improvement in knowledge, for which firms may not have sufficient incentives (Jones and Williams 1998, Cohen et al2002).”
The Choice between Formal and Informal Intellectual Property: A Review (2014, methodology): “We focus here on the PACE survey developed by Arundel et al. in 1995 and on the surveys of Japanese and U.S. firms (Pitkethly 2001; Cohen et al. 2002).”
What exactly are technological regimes?: Intra-industry heterogeneity in the organization of innovation activities (2007, background): “…as further elaborated on the inter-industry differences n the use of patents, secrecy, and lead time in protecting he returns on R&D investments (Cohen et al., 2002). dditionally, technological opportunities as a distinuishing factor across industries was already alluded to y Winter (1984), but…”
