本课题在探究知识密集型服务业知识资产保护机制失效与缺位的表征和根源基础上，提出基于"合法性建构-知识资产保护-创新价值获取"理论逻辑，运用质性研究、大样本调查、模拟仿真和系统分析等方法，聚焦于"服务企业如何从创新中获利"这一根本问题，从微观企业、中间网络、宏观制度三层次建构起了知识密集型服务业知识资产保护机制与创新价值获取之间主效应的结构模型，创新性提出基于独占性和合法性相结合的知识资产保护框架体系，并针对不同服务创新情境提出知识资产保护的多层次机制和制度框架。本课题的贡献：提出基于合法性视角的知识资产保护和"从服务创新中获利"的理论框架；为我国政府、中介组织和企业设计知识密集性服务创新的知识资产保护制度体系。

This project explores the inefficiency and incompleteness of intellectual property protection (IPP) mechanism in Knowledge-Intensive Business Services(KIBS). Then, it builds the theoretical logic of "legitimacy - - IPP -profiting from innovation". By methodologies of qualitative research, large sample survey, simulation and system analysis, this project tries to address the fundamental question of "how to profit from service innovation" of KIBS by configuring main effects of IPP system and innovation value creation of micro-, inter-organizational and macro- views. Most importantly, it presents the IPP framework and system by connecting the theories of appropriability and legitimacy so as to design the multi-level mechanisms and institutional framework of intellectual assets protection. This project contributes to the theories of profiting from service innovation (PFSI) and to the policy design for micro-, inter-organizational and macro- agents to protect the intellectual assets of KIBS.
