Abstract
A patent pool is a marketing alliance that licenses technology to manufacturers. We build on previous research on patent pools that have mainly focused on transaction cost theory to explore the impact of patent pools on innovation. Our results show that the pool's influence on the dominant design depends on the technical characteristics of both the patent pool and the licensor. We found an inverted U-shaped relationship between the age of the patent pool and the dominant design. The difficulty of technology development and the number of licensors in the pool actively moderate the relationship between the age of the patent pool and the dominant design. Our research also found that when licensors are vertically integrated, the dominant patent pool design increases as the pool grows.
专利池是一种向制造商提供技术许可的营销联盟。以往关于专利池的研究主要集中于交易成本理论，我们在此基础上探讨了专利池对创新的影响。我们的研究结果表明，专利池对主导设计的影响取决于专利池和许可人的技术特征。我们发现，专利池的年龄与主导设计之间存在倒 U 型关系。技术开发的难度和专利池中许可人的数量对专利池年龄与主导设计之间的关系有积极的调节作用。我们的研究还发现，当许可人进行垂直整合时，专利池的主导设计会随着专利池的扩大而增加。
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.
