TLDR
This paper found that intraindustry R&D knowledge flows and spillovers are greater in Japan than in the US and the appropriability of rents due to innovation less, suggesting that patent policy can importantly affect information flows.About:

Modeling a Paradigm Shift: From Producer Innovation to User and Open Collaborative Innovation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess the economic viability of innovation by producers relative to two increasingly important alternative models: innovations by single-user individuals or firms and open collaborative innovation and conclude that both models increasingly compete with and may displace producer innovation in many parts of the economy.

Selective revealing in open innovation processes: The case of embedded Linux
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a quantitative study of patterns of free revealing of firm-developed innovations within embedded Linux, a type of open source software (OSS), and find that firms, without being obliged to do so, contribute many of their own developments back to public embedded Linux code, eliciting and indeed receiving informal development support from other firms.

R&D cooperation and innovation activities of firms—evidence for the German manufacturing industry
Wolfgang Becker,Juergen Dietz +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the role of R&D cooperation in the innovation process from two specific aspects: the impact of the number of cooperation partners on firms' innovation input and output, and the effect of the cooperation partners' number on the innovation behavior of firms.

Mail and telephone surveys : the total design method
Abstract: Develops a theoretically based system guided by principles of social exchange and administration that ensure high quality surveys at low cost. Presents step-by-step procedures and shows why each step is important. Contains many examples and, where appropriate, contrasts acceptable and unacceptable procedures.

Innovation and Learning: The Two Faces of R & D
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assume that firms invest in R&D not only to generate innovations, but also to learn from competitors and extraindustry knowledge sources (e.g., university and government labs).

Appropriating the Returns from Industrial Research and Development
Richard C. Levin,Alvin K. Klevorick,Richard R. Nelson,Sidney G. Winter,Richard Gilbert,Zvi Griliches +5 more
TL;DR: A patent confers, in theory, perfect appropriability (monopoly of the invention) for a limited time in return for a public benefit as mentioned in this paper, however, the benefits consumers derive from an innovation, however, are increased if competitors can imitate and improve on the innovation to ensure its availability on favorable terms.

The patent paradox revisited: an empirical study of patenting in the U.S. semiconductor industry, 1979-1995
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the patenting behavior of firms in an industry characterized by rapid technological change and cumulative innovation and find that semiconductor firms do not rely heavily on patents to appropriate returns to R&D.
