我们在文献中重新审视了文献中的“开放性悖论”，其中包括两种相互矛盾的观点，即专利与开放创新之间的联系 - 预防溢出和组织开放性的观点。我们使用英国创新和专利使用调查的数据以及社区创新调查（CIS6）来评估对这些理论的不同预测的经验支持。我们认为，专利和外部采购（开放性）都是公司做出的共同确定的决定。他们的关系取决于公司在技术上是否优于竞争对手，并在市场上领先。与追随者相比，领先的公司在协作期间更容易受到意外知识溢出的影响，因此，由于领导者，由于开放性而增加的专利性的增加要高于关注者。我们开发了一个简单的框架，使我们能够正式得出该假设的经验含义，并通过估计专利与协作之间的形式关系是否比追随者更强。 （c）2016年作者。由Elsevier B.V.出版
We revisit the "paradox of openness" in the literature which consists of two conflicting views on the link between patenting and open innovation-the spillover prevention and the organizational openness views. We use the data from the Survey of Innovation and Patent Use and the Community Innovation Survey (CIS6) in the UK to assess the empirical support for the distinct predictions of these theories. We argue that both patenting and external sourcing (openness) are jointly-determined decisions made by firms. Their relationship is contingent upon whether the firms are technically superior to their rivals and lead in the market or not. Leading firms are more vulnerable to unintended knowledge spillovers during collaboration as compared to followers, and consequently, the increase in patenting due to openness is higher for leaders than for followers. We develop a simple framework that allows us to formally derive the empirical implications of this hypothesis and test it by estimating whether the reduced form relationship between patenting and collaboration is stronger for leaders than for followers.
