“…First, although the literature tends to assume that inventors work in their country of residence (cf. Almeida and Phene, 2004;Cantwell and Piscitello, 2000;Frost, 2001;Guellec and van Pottelsberghe de la Potterie, 2001;Le Bas and Sierra, 2002;Patel and Vega, 1999;Zander, 1999), this is not always the case. For example, many people live and work in different countries.…”

Based on the critical case of ABB, this paper questions the relevance of using patents with multiple inventors from different countries ("cross-country patents") as an indicator of international R&D collaboration. The study shows that less than half of ABB's cross-country patents are the result of international R&D collaboration as described by one of the more inclusive definitions found in previous literature. Only a third of the patents are the result of joint R&D activities between different MNC subsidiaries or firms. We also discuss the implications of our study for the assignment of patents to countries based on inventor addresses.

“…They demonstrate the relevance of this type of foreign R&D and/or compare the importance of knowledge-seeking strategies with those reflecting market-seeking motives [see, e.g. Cantwell (1995), Florida (1997), Kuemmerle (1999), Patel andVega (1999), Frost (2001), Le Bas and Sierra (2002)]. In these studies, the two types of foreign R&D are discussed under the heading of "asset-exploiting" (homebase-exploiting, competence-exploiting) strategies versus "asset-augmenting" (home-base augmenting, competence-creating) strategies.…”
