Overlap in external technology search locations and the breadth of IPR assets: lessons from the Security Software Industry

Abstract: This study examines the effect of intellectual property rights (IPR) on firms' geographic overlap strategy of external technology search (ETS) compared to rivals. I reveal that firms are able to realise less intensity of geographic overlap in ETS locations compared to competitors and that this outcome is a function of the breadth of their upstream (generality of patents) and downstream (diversification of trademarks) IPR tools. Accordingly, I conclude that both covariates influence the spatial isolation of ETS… Show more

“…Interestingly, the ownership of trademarks might also play a role in the very early phase of the innovation lifecycle, in an indirect way. Bei (2019) shows that owning valuable trademarks correlates with the success of technology sourcing strategies and Sebrek (2019) finds a relation between the breadth of the trademark portfolios of firms and the geographic scope of their external search activities. At the same time, mature firms may only see the need for filing a trademark after the product has proven to be a success (Fink, Hall, and Helmers 2018).…”

“…Ez alátámasztja azt, amit Bőgel és Mátyás (2019) állít: Spanyolország -Ausztráliához hasonlóan -a nemzetközi rangsorokban jól szereplő sikeres felsőoktatással bíró ország. Jelzések a szakmai minőségről: solo paper, job market és kutatói utak Pályám kiemelkedő publikációi az Industry and Innovation (a Scimago Journal Rank, SJR adatai alapján a folyóirat D1-es besorolású, azaz szakterülete legjobb tíz százalékába tartozik, impact factora három feletti) és a Technology Analysis and Strategic Management folyóiratokban jelentek meg (Sebrek, 2015;Sebrek, 2020). Ezek mindegyikét egyedüli szerzőként jegyzem.…”

“…A légiközlekedési iparágban ez úgy megy végbe, hogy az adott versenytársat kiszorítják a piacról, kapacitásait helyettesítik, amely révén végbemegy maga a konszolidáció. A gyengébb kiszorítása más iparágakban, például a világméretű mobil telefonkészülékek (Alcácer, 2006), vagy a biztonsági szoftverek (Sebrek, 2019) iparágában is jellemző.…”
