Appropriability of innovation results: an empirical study in spanish manufacturing firms
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a specific model of analysis, which includes various hypotheses to be tested in a sample of 258 Spanish manufacturing companies, and confirm that companies that mostly use explicit knowledge chose the patenting system as a defence mechanism, while those companies in which tacit type knowledge predominates tend to opt for industrial secret.
