Abstract

This paper examines the relationship between patenting and formal standardization participation. We review the existing literature on the motivations and barriers to patenting and participation in formal standardization. Based on conceptual considerations derived in the literature review, propositions regarding the relations between patenting and standardization motives and barriers are derived. The empirical analysis is based on a sample of German firms being active in patenting or standardization, with more than half doing both. In general, the motives, as well as the barriers to patenting, are closely related to those in standardization. Firms use the two complementary instruments to promote cooperation as well as strategies to meet competitive goals. Related to the barriers, both strategies suffer both from internally and externally determined resource barriers. Finally, recommendations for firms’ patenting and standardization management are derived.

专利与标准化:基于企业战略动机和经验障碍的异同

本文考察了专利行为与正式标准化参与之间的关系。我们回顾了现有文献的动机和障碍的专利和参与正式标准化。基于文献综述中衍生的概念考虑，推导出关于专利和标准化动机和壁垒之间关系的命题。实证分析是基于积极申请专利或标准化的德国公司样本，其中一半以上的公司两者兼而有之。总的来说，获得专利的动机和障碍与标准化的动机和障碍密切相关。企业使用这两种互补的工具来促进合作以及实现竞争目标的战略。与障碍相关，这两种战略都受到内部和外部决定的资源障碍的影响。最后，对企业的专利管理和标准化管理提出了建议。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Engineering and Technology Management (JET-M) is an international scholarly refereed research journal which aims to promote the theory and practice of technology, innovation, and engineering management. The journal links engineering, science, and management disciplines. It addresses the issues involved in the planning, development, and implementation of technological capabilities to shape and accomplish the strategic and operational objectives of an organization. It covers not only R&D management, but also the entire spectrum of managerial concerns in technology-based organizations. This includes issues relating to new product development, human resource management, innovation process management, project management, technological fusion, marketing, technological forecasting and strategic planning. The journal provides an interface between technology and other corporate functions, such as R&D, marketing, manufacturing and administration. Its ultimate goal is to make a profound contribution to theory development, research and practice by serving as a leading forum for the publication of scholarly research on all aspects of technology, innovation, and engineering management.
