• Exploring the Foundations of Cumulative Innovation: Implications for Organization Science (2007, background): “It permits both technical and legal means to restrict reuse and recombinative access (Samuelson 2001, Felten 2002, Samuelson and Scotchmer 2002).”
• The Economics of Patents: Lessons from Recent U.S. Patent Reform (2002, background): “Samuelson et al. (1994) recommend that computer software should have its own unique legal protection regime, which would allow detailed and nontrivial reverse engineering. Under this regime, the initial developer would be given lead time, during which easy imitation would be prevented, while support”
• A Functional Perspective on Learning and Innovation: Investigating the Organization of Absorptive Capacity (2011, unknown): “The literature on reverse engineering has indicated that this is a potentially important source of learning from competitors, with manufacturing-based AC possibly playing an important and dominant role in this (cf. Levin, 1988; Samuelson and Scotchmer, 2002) (H2b).”
