The effects of patent attorney use on filing strategy vis-a-vis the effects of firm experience}, series = {Management Decision}, volume = {55}, journal = {Management Decision}, number = {6}, publisher = {Emerald}, issn = {0025-1747}, doi = {10.1108/MD-01-2016-0047}, pages = {1122 -- 1142}, abstract = {PurposeIn the intellectual property (IP) and management literature, the question of how external patent attorneys impact patent filings has been understudied. The purpose of this paper is to advance this area of research by examining how the use of external patent attorneys influences the patent filing strategies of firms and what impact firms? level of experience with the exclusive use of in-house resources has on filing strategies. This study, thus, provides insights into the strategic dimension behind patent filing, a process which is affected by patent attorneys? work and decision-making processes.Design/methodology/approachThe econometric analysis is based on a patent database of 922,553 patents which is combined with an EPO patent database covering applications from 1990 to 2010. The authors test the hypotheses for this study using patent indicators addressing the impact of in-house firm experience vs the use of external patent attorneys on firm?s filing strategy.FindingsThis research finds empirical evidence that external patent attorneys? work has an effect on patent scope, international scope, and patenting speed. Moreover, it can be shown that external patent attorneys have a positive impact on most filing dimensions, such as patent scope, international scope and the Patent Cooperation Treaty option, whereas the level of in-house firm experience has a negative impact on most filing dimensions. This implies that external patent attorneys seem to pursue a ?maximization approach? while experienced firms seem to pursue a more differentiated approach to filing patents, for instance, drafting narrower and more focused patents.Practical implicationsThe study suggests that effective filing strategies require an integrated approach between diverse IP stakeholders. More particularly, filing strategies should be communicated and aligned between all actors, including external patent attorneys in order to achieve the targeted patenting output.Originality/valueThe current study develops a patent filing typology, which accounts for patent attorneys? decision options. In providing insights into patent attorneys? work and their impacts on intellectual property rights management, the study is a useful complement to prior research, which has predominantly focused on applicants or examiners.}, language = {en} } @book{SuezerogluMelchiors, author = {S{\"u}zeroglu-Melchiors, Sevim}, title = {Managing Intellectual Property: IP Outsourcing and the Supply Side of IP Management}, publisher = {Difo-Druck GmbH}, address = {Bamberg}, pages = {XIII, 104}, abstract = {Seit einigen Jahren kann beobachtet werden, dass Unternehmen zunehmend marginale Innovationen in Patente umwandeln. Alle wichtigen Patent{\"a}mter weltweit sind mit einer regelrechten "Explosion von Patentanmeldungen" konfrontiert (Harhoff et al., 2007). Die Rolle von geistigem Eigentum - englisch: Intellectual Property (IP) - vor allem von Patentmanagement hat sich von einem rein rechtlichen Konstrukt, hin zu einem Bereich von strategischer Bedeutung entwickelt. Obwohl Fragestellungen in Hinblick auf strategisches Patentmanagement zuletzt Gegenstand zunehmender Forschung und Praxis geworden sind, mangelt es bislang an dedizierter Forschung zu IP Outsourcing und deren Einfluss auf das Management von Patenten. Aus diesem Grunde, untersucht meine Dissertation empirisch folgende wichtige Fragestellungen: Wie Firmen Outsourcingstrategien definieren, welche Typen von IP Intermedi{\"a}ren im Umfeld von IP existieren und wie diese IP Intermedi{\"a}re die IP Strategien von Unternehmen beeinflussen. Meine Dissertation besteht aus einem Einleitungskapitel und drei individuellen Forschungsartikeln. Das Einleitungskapitel erl{\"a}utert die Motivation der Arbeit und gibt einen {\"U}berblick {\"u}ber den aktuellen Stand der Forschung. Desweiteren untersuchen die nachfolgenden drei Artikel spezifische Forschungsfragen zum Thema IP Outsourcing und dem Management von IP unter Zusammenarbeit mit IP Intermedi{\"a}ren. Der erste Artikel betrachtet das Ph{\"a}nomen IP Outsourcing n{\"a}her und analysiert Unternehmensstrategien in Bezug auf IP Outsourcing. Der zweite Artikel fokussiert sich auf IP Intermedi{\"a}re, indem unterschiedliche IP Dienstleister vorgestellt werden und sowohl Motive, als auch Determinanten f{\"u}r die Auswahl von IP Dienstleister untersucht werden.

Second, I consider three main hypotheses that determine a firm's preference for outsourced IP work. Using data on the outsourcing of patent renewal payments, I found evidence that the choice of IP supplier is affected by: (1) the firm's own IP maintenance capabilities, (2) the firm's IP knowledge utilization, and (3) the IP complexity.}, language = {en} } @incollection{SuezeroğluMelchiors, author = {S{\"u}zeroğlu-Melchiors, Sevim}, title = {Blind As a Mole?
