FORERO-PINEDA, Clemente; LAUREIRO-MARTINEZ, Daniella e MARIN, Alejandra. Innovation patterns and intellectual property in SMEs of a developing country. Innovar [online]. 2011, vol.21, n.42, pp.113-128. ISSN 0121-5051.
Based on empirical results, this article reopens the discussion about the relationship between intellectual property and innovation in developing countries. Intellectual property grants a monopoly over the commercial exploitation of innovations. Ex ante, this monopoly may promote innovation but ex post it may become a disincentive to diffusion and subsequent innovation. After reviewing the terms of the debate in the classical and current literature, we address two empirical issues: What patterns of intellectual property behavior coexist among the small and medium enterprises (SMEs) of a developing country (Colombia) and how these patterns relate to the innovation performance of these firms.
