Abstract

JULIAO ROSSI, Jorge Luís; BARRIOS AGUIRRE, Fernando; SCHMUTZLER, Jana  and  SANCHEZ MANCHOLA, Iván Darío. Relationship between company innovation strategy and the decision to patent: empirical evidence from Colombian manufacturing companies. estud.gerenc. [online]. 2013, vol.29, n.128, pp.313-321. ISSN 0123-5923.

The objective of this paper is to determine the effects that a specific innovation strategy has on the decision to protect the intellectual property of Colombian manufacturing enterprises via patents. The Zero Inflated Poisson Model was applied, relying on data from the Second and Third Survey on Development and Technological Innovations carried out by the DANE-DNP-COLCIENCIAS. The results of this investigation show a negative relationship between the proportion of investment in R & D and patenting decisions of firms. Additionally, it was shown that the low level of patents is partially due to lacking quality relationships with providers and competition.

Keywords : Colombia; Innovation Strategy; Patents; Intellectual Property; Information Sources.
