The influence of strategic patenting on companies' patent portfolios (2009, background): “Patents are heterogeneous in their value and function for their owners and supply different levels of additional profit to companies through the original protection function and strategic functions (Somaya 2003).”
Patents as Surrogates for Inimitable and Non-Substitutable Resources (2004, background): “Patent litigation entails substantial costs—in 1997 direct legal costs reached $3 million for each party to a trial (AIPLA, 1997)—while diverting managers’, lawyers’, engineers’, and scientists’ time, attention, and energy (Somaya, 2003).”
Patent thickets, courts, and the market for innovation (2010, background): “Somaya (2003) shows that pretrial settlement of patent suits is less likely when strategic stakes are high.”
Friends and Foes: The dynamics of dual social structures (2014, background): “Furthermore, both patent and antitrust litigation are extremely costly (e.g., Somaya, 2003).”
Is firm-specific innovation associated with greater value appropriation? The roles of environmental dynamism and technological diversity (2010, background): “In a study on the strategic determinants of firms’ decisions not to settle patent litigation, Somaya (2003) makes the argument that firms’ patents build on their own technology or are associated with other organizational assets to different extents.”
Reputations for toughness in patent enforcement: implications for knowledge spillovers via inventor mobility (2009, neutral): “The surge in case filings is simultaneously attributed to institutional reforms in the mid-1980s that strengthened the bargaining power of U.S. patent owners (Jaffe, 2000; Gallini, 2002) and intensified efforts by firms to capture value from innovation-related investments (Somaya, 2003).”
Does Patent Strategy Shape the Long-Run Supply of Public Knowledge? Evidence from Human Genetics (2009, background): “The type of patent owner (assignee) is a critical determinant of patent enforcement strategies (Somaya, 2003), with a high propensity for patent acquisition, enforcement and litigation by forprofit private corporations, particularly compared to their public sector counterparts (Ziedonis, 2004).”
Are perseverance and self‐efficacy costless? Assessing entrepreneurs' regretful thinking (2005, background): “Research views patents as a proxy for technological innovation, a precursor to a newly developed product, and an indication of technological capital (Balkin, Markman, & Gomez-Mejia, 2000; Somaya, 2003).”
Factor-Market Rivalry (2009, background): “The investigation of patent-based conflicts to study factor-market rivalry is a natural direction for empirical scrutiny (Somaya, 2003), but we urge studying the role of other factors too.”
How Firms Capture Value From Their Innovations (2013, background): “These studies are descriptive in nature and provided a foundation for subsequent research on the effectiveness of each mechanism (Cohen et al., 2002; Graham, 2004; Hall & Ziedonis, 2001; Somaya, 2003).”
