Need for speed? Exploring the relative importance of patents and utility models among German firms
2017
Despite the wide use of two-tiered patent systems (patents and utility models (UMs)), there is little empirical evidence about how often UMs are actually used, what kind of firms use them to protect their intellectual property, and how firms rank them relative to patents. We offer such an analysis using data from Germany. We find that larger firms are more likely to use both protection methods. Moreover, a short life cycle of products and services is associated with an increased likelihood to use UMs. The features and functioning of the German UM system are of broader interest because it has been a benchmark for several second tier patent protection systems around the world. peerReviewed
Uncovering value through exploration of barriers:A perspective on intellectual property rights in a national innovation system
2023
Although for a long time policy has emphasized the role of intellectual property rights as a growth agent facilitating innovation, the literature has called into question this relationship. Critical studies have focused on studying policy frames and protection modes that could transform the intellectual property rights system to be more beneficial. Studies have not, however, focused on the intellectual property rights system stakeholders in cocreating the system. Our study contributes to the literature by uncovering the tensions in developing a national-level intellectual property rights strategy. Using the Delphi method, we draw from a broad stakeholder dialogue to show the barriers for in…
Intellectual property rights and economic growth
2015
Striving for greater economic growth, requires a great understanding of the underlying factors. One of the factors may be the intellectual property rights and the level of its protection. Whether it is and how does it behave are the questions answered by this thesis. The theoretical framework comes mainly from the Schumpeterian growth model. The empirical methodology uses GMM in order to obtain reliable results. The level of intellectual property rights protection in the country does seem to have a positive effect on the country’s growth rate. Furthermore it seems that the relation is non-linear: The incremental changes are different between low and high starting levels of the IPR protectio…

IPR-instituutiot teknologisen kehityksen määrittäjinä
2022
Aineettomien oikeuksien (Intellectual Property Rights, IPR) instituutioiden kuten patentti- ja tavaramerkkijärjestelmien kehityksellä on erityinen rooli tutkimus- ja kehitysinvestointien (T&K), innovaatiotoiminnan sekä teknologisen kehityksen määrän ja suunnan määrittäjinä. Tässä artikkelissa keskitytään IPR-instituutioihin teknologisen kehityksen määrittäjinä ja tarkastellaan ilmiötä suomalaisesta näkökulmasta. Pitkällä aikavälillä aineettoman omaisuuden ja sen suojaamisen merkitys taloudessa, yritysten liiketoiminnassa ja innovaatiotuottojen saamisessa on kasvanut, samalla kun kansallisia ja kansainvälisiä IPR-järjestelmiä on kehitetty ja yhdenmukaistettu. IPR-instituutioiden kehityksen p…
Innovation expectations and patenting in private and public R&D projects
2017
peer-reviewed In this paper, we investigate how the innovation expectations of public financiers are related to realized patents. The analysis is based on a novel dataset of collaborative R&D projects subsidized by the Finnish Agency of Technology and Innovation (Tekes) and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) during the period 2000–2004. Innovation expectations are measured using reports submitted by Tekes experts during ex ante assessments of projects. Our probit model results reveal that Tekes’ patent expectations are positively related to realized patents for projects led by private firms (but not by public organizations). For large organizations, Tekes’ innovation expectations…
