“…Авторы резюмируют, что успех в битвах платформ правдоподобно объясняется сочетанием сложности дизайна бизнес-модели и одновременным использованием инноваций и имитаций для создания сложных систем действий. В другой характерной для данного периода публикации [Chen, Dimitrov, 2017] авторы исследуют сущность экоинноваций, аспекты их лицензирования и имитации. Полученные результаты позволяют авторам сформировать вывод, что экоинноватор может потерять свое конкурентное преимущество при лицензировании инновационного продукта; кроме того, лицензирование может привести к увеличению количества имитаций.…”

The article presents the research results on the evolution of key patterns of scientific publications devoted to the use of imitation strategies by business entities. End of purpose was ensured by solving two interrelated tasks: first, to form a relevant sample of scientific articles (2,302 publications on selected topic, indexed by the Scopus scientometric database, for the period from 1992 to 2022); secondly, to analyse the co-occurrence of keywords to characterise the current state of the research field and determining the perspective of its development. The terms “imitation strategy, innovation” or “innovation, imitation, strategy” were chosen as keywords. The bibliometric analysis and visualisation of its results were performed using the VOSviewer software product. On the basis of visualisation maps, five clusters of the content matching of keywords in articles and five stages of the evolutionary development of innovative behavior of enterprises were identified. The results of the research can be used in studying various aspects of the implementation the imitation strategies by business entities.

“…Bagchi and Mukherjee studied the profits of technology holders under product differentiation and market competition, impacted by the factors of different patent licensing forms [6]. Chen and Dimitrov studied green patent technology licensing issue and found that green product firms could lose their competitive advantage through patent licensing [3]. Hill analyzed whether firms should license patents to their potential competitors and found that licensing fees play a critical role in patent licensing [7].…”

“…Is there any algorithm to find the optimal return of the patent holder considering the adoption decision? As the core component of electric vehicle which is critical for Eco-innovation [1][2][3], the adoption decision of EV cell producers and EV producers on the patented EV cell impacted by patent royalty, return and cost, competition is related with the number of producers that adopted patented EV cell technology. The patent licensing strategy played a critical role on how to promote the innovation diffusion, which is an interesting problem to be solved [4].…”

“…We tried to explore this question by evolutionary game analysis and optimization algorithm to find the most favorable strategy. The existing literature considers patent licensing when outsourcing production to competitors in different supply chain scenarios and perspectives [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]; however, the supply chain structure and scenarios are different than the EV industry, and there is a lack of an optimization algorithm, which is as necessary as it is difficult to find optimal return considering the nonlinear relationship with several factors, which is multidimensional decision space. This paper aims to explore the conceptional and mathematical model of the interplay between patent and innovation diffusion of EV cell industry.…”

Electric vehicle cell industry is an emerging area with fierce competition on technical innovation, in which the patent holder can choose different innovation diffusion options to maximize the return; however, the strategy is unclear in certain scenarios. We tried to explain the question of how to maximize the patent holder’s return by appropriate patent license strategy to promote EV cell innovation diffusion, when competition and patent licensing relationship exist in the supply chain. A multistage and multichannel diffusion model of EV cell comprising the patent holder, EV cell producer and EV producers is developed; the evolutionary game is analyzed considering the competition among same stage players and patent licensing relationship among different stage players; and an optimization algorithm is introduced to find the maximum weighted object function of the patent holder. We established the multistage and multichannel diffusion model and found a nonlinear complex relationship between patent holder object function and the key factors including patent royalty pricing and innovation advantage coefficient; in addition, an optimization algorithm is developed based on adopters’ decision-making related with competition and patent licensing.

Chen and Dimitrov [19] considered the competition between manufacturers of green ecological products and manufacturers of ordinary products, studied the issue of green patent technology licensing, and found that under certain conditions, green product manufacturers will lose their competitive advantage through patent technology licensing. Yan and Yang [20] studied different forms of patent licensing contracts and how patent holders should choose licensing contracts.…”

Outsourcing Strategy With Patent Licensing in an Electronic Product Supply Chain

An electronic product like a smartphone might involve hundreds of thousands of patents. The risks caused by infringement make it necessary for enterprises to consider patent licensing when outsourcing production activities in the electronics industry. This paper studies the outsourcing strategy considering patent licensing in an electronic product supply chain composed of a patent-holding firm, an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and a contract manufacturer (CM). In addition to outsourcing manufacturing to the CM, OEM also considers outsourcing the patent license obtaining as well. We construct two outsourcing modes, called Turnkey and Consignment. No matter under which outsourcing mode, the patent-holding firm will charge unit royalty and a fixed fee paid in a lump sum. The results show that the OEM tends to choose Consignment without considering fixed fees, while the CM prefers Turnkey. When considering fixed fees, the patent-holding firm could align their preferences by coordinating fixed fees borne by OEM and CM. What's more, considering the environmental pollution caused by the production of electronic products, both strategies may lead to higher social welfare than the other strategy. INDEX TERMS OEM, patent licensing, outsourcing, coopetition supply chain.
