Harhoff, Dietmar; Hoisl, Karin - 2006
Germany is one of few countries in which the monetary compensation for inventors is not only determined by negotiations between employer and employee-inventor, but also by relatively precise legal provisions. In this paper, we describe the characteristics of the German Employees' Inventions Act...

Filling the gap : the consequences of collaborator loss in corporate R&D
Poege, Felix; Gäßler, Fabian; Hoisl, Karin; Harhoff, … - 2022
We examine how collaborator loss affects knowledge workers in corporate R&D. We argue that such a loss affects the remaining collaborators not only by reducing their team-specific capital (as argued in the prior literature) but also by increasing their bargaining power over the employer, who is...

Hiring new key inventors to improve firms' post-M&A inventive output
Arroyabe, M. F.; Hussinger, Katrin; Hagedoorn, John - 2020
Although merger and acquisitions (M&As) are acknowledged as an important means to access innovative assets and know-how, firms’ inventive output often declines in the post-M&A period. Financial, managerial and organizational constraints related to the M&A event contribute to inventive output...

Patents, freedom to operate, and follow-on innovation : evidence from post-grant opposition
Gäßler, Fabian; Harhoff, Dietmar; Sorg, Stefan; … - 2024
We study the blocking effect of patents on follow-on innovation by others. We posit that follow-on innovation requires … freedom to operate (FTO), which firms typically obtain through a license from the patentee holding the original innovation …. Where licensing fails, follow-on innovation is blocked unless firms gain FTO through patent invalidation. Using large …

Heterogeneity of patenting activity and its implications for scientific research
Czarnitzki, Dirk (contributor);  … - 2007
The increasing commercialization of university discoveries has initiated a controversy on the impacts for future scientific research. It has been argued that an increasing orientation towards commercialization may have a negative impact on more fundamental research efforts in science. Several...
