Abstract

This study investigates coopetition among the 16 semiconductor firms that figured among the top 10 by revenue from 2009 to 2019 using patent data obtained from the Derwent World Patents Index™ (DWPI), considering records available for the selected firms published and indexed up to July 26, 2020. Only 1791 (0.17%) records from a total of more than 1.1 million have two or more of these competing firms as assignees (i.e., they are records for joint patents involving these firms), indicating the existence of coopetition in this scenario. These joint patents demonstrate coopetition between firms from different countries and in the main areas in which their patents are classified, indicating that they may coopete in those areas. Furthermore, mergers and acquisitions and joint ventures may influence coopetition and innovation, resulting in joint patents. Finally, a framework that consolidates the main findings is presented to guide future research. We contribute to the coopetition literature with novel inputs. From a managerial perspective, the findings can be used to build strategies to better exploit the potential of patents.

高科技企业的竞争与创新:对半导体产业专利的分析

这项研究使用从德温特世界专利指数获得的专利数据，调查了2009年至2019年收入前十的16家半导体公司之间的合作竞争™ （DWPI），考虑到截至2020年7月26日公布和索引的选定公司的可用记录。在总共110多万份记录中，只有1791份（0.17%）记录中有两家或两家以上的竞争公司作为受让人（即，它们是涉及这些公司的联合专利记录），表明在这种情况下存在合作竞争。这些联合专利表明了来自不同国家的公司之间以及在其专利分类的主要领域的合作竞争，表明它们可能在这些领域进行合作。此外，并购和合资企业可能会影响合作竞争和创新，从而产生联合专利。最后，提出了一个整合主要发现的框架，以指导未来的研究。我们以新颖的投入为合作竞争文学做出贡献。从管理的角度来看，这些发现可以用来制定更好地利用专利潜力的战略。
