“Certainly to be able to walk into the room with IP […] that is an advantage” The paper explores trends and features of one of the most visible IP management practices, IP licensing, in the context of start-ups, accessing external technology at the outset of their lifetime. In particular, it compares start-ups and incumbent firms, in terms of licensing strategy pursued, role of in-licensed technologies relative to the internal innovation process and IP management strategies successively implemented. A mixed-method study is presented using quantitative data on licensing deals from the USA SEC and cases on start-up companies involved in in-bound technology licensing. Evidence indicates start-ups have different IP licensing strategies than incumbents and their successive IP management strategies are more flexible than for incumbents.

Abstract
“Certainly to be able to walk into the room with IP […] that is an advantage” The paper explores trends and features of one of the most visible IP management practices, IP licensing, in the context of start-ups, accessing external technology at the outset of their lifetime. In particular, it compares start-ups and incumbent firms, in terms of licensing strategy pursued, role of in-licensed technologies relative to the internal innovation process and IP management strategies successively implemented. A mixed-method study is presented using quantitative data on licensing deals from the USA SEC and cases on start-up companies involved in in-bound technology licensing. Evidence indicates start-ups have different IP licensing strategies than incumbents and their successive IP management strategies are more flexible than for incumbents.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
