SRS 96-15976 Link The purpose of this innovative study is to explore the feasibility of developing a database of quantitative information on the licensing patterns of U. S. firms. It is expected that this database will provide the first systematic information across firms and industries on the propensity to acquire technical knowledge through licensing arrangements rather than through their R&D or through other external sources. Moreover, licensing activity appears, based on the limited stylized information available, to be an important element of the portfolio of sources of technical knowledge that firms draw upon as a part of their overall innovative strategy. The proposed study ventures into an important research area, namely understanding and documenting across industries an element of a firm's portfolio of technical information previously unexplored. While the broad topic of sources of technical information is established in the innovation related literature, a new, albeit exploratory, approach for documenting patterns of licensing activity is being offered. The proposed procedure uses legal decisions to identify licensing activities and then matches the parties to those licensing arrangements to patent citations. The evidence on licensing and patent citations is then used to predict licensing patterns across industries. The general use of citation counts to explore technology flows is in its infancy. This study attempts to combine in a novel way citation counts for patents with evidence about licensing obtained from legal decisions. If this approach is successful, the investigators will have begun to fill the conspicuous void in information about the licensing of technology. ***

SRS 96-15976链接本创新性研究的目的是探索建立一个美国专利许可模式定量信息数据库的可行性。S.事务所 预计这一数据库将提供关于各公司和各行业通过许可证安排而不是通过研发或其他外部来源获取技术知识倾向的第一个系统信息。 此外，根据现有的有限的程式化信息，许可证活动似乎是公司作为其总体创新战略的一部分而利用的技术知识来源组合的一个重要组成部分。 拟议的研究冒险进入一个重要的研究领域，即理解和记录跨行业的一个元素，以前未开发的公司的技术信息组合。 虽然技术信息来源这一广泛的主题在创新相关文献中已经确立，但也提出了一种新的、探索性的方法来记录许可证发放活动的模式。 拟议的程序使用法律的决定来确定许可活动，然后将这些许可安排的当事方与专利引用相匹配。 许可和专利引用的证据，然后用于预测跨行业的许可模式。 引用计数在探索技术流方面的普遍应用还处于起步阶段。 本研究试图以一种新颖的方式将联合收割机专利的引用计数与从法律的决定中获得的关于许可的证据结合起来。 如果这一方法成功，调查人员将开始填补有关技术许可证的信息方面的明显空白。 ***
