Service innovation involves both technological and nontechnological aspects, which need to be protected as intellectual property. Thus, it is worth analyzing patents and trademarks at the same time to examine innovation-protection mechanisms considering that not only patents but also trademarks can play a significant role in protecting different aspects of innovation. In response, this paper focuses on the usage of trademarks and suggests hybrid intellectual property strategies to integrate patents and trademarks to understand the characteristics of innovation strategy—the patterns of innovation protection. We employed the United States Patent and Trademark Office database and conducted a sector-level and firm-level analysis. As a case study, we focused on the game industry, in which both patents and trademarks are considered the key drivers for innovation.

This survey provides a selective review of the literature on patent policy, innovation and economic growth. The patent system is a useful policy tool for stimulating innovation given its importance on technological progress and economic growth. However, the patent system is a multi-dimensional system, which features multiple patent policy instruments. In this survey, we review some of the commonly discussed patent policy instruments, such as patent length, patent breadth and blocking patents, and also use a canonical Schumpeterian growth model to demonstrate their different effects on innovation and the macroeconomy.

Due to the constantly changing nature of our society, the ability to make correct decisions is crucial for decision-makers. Understanding science-technology linkages and knowledge flows are of critical importance for decision-makers. A recent surge of research on patent has given us new opportunities and challenges; and there are many advances that have been made in the area of patent analysis. Therefore, this study aims to measure innovation capability and science-technology linkage by analyzing USPTO patents from 1976 to 2012. Implications obtained in this study are summarized as: 1) innovation capability can be measured by properly selected patent indicator, 2) level of knowledge diffusion and knowledge flows across industries can be evaluated, 3) The proportion of large R&D-intensive companies patent holder and the impact of policies on patent output are analyzed, 4) the relation between a nation's patenting behavior and global patenting activities can be compared.

Initial abstract Achieving a community of open innovation, where innovative ideas can be freely shared, will increase costs of corporate monopolisation thereby enhancing the role of ordinary citizens as Intellectual Property generators. Based on analysis of technical features in patents, this research applies non-zero-sum game theory to model multi-layered patent strategies including application, litigation and transaction. To maximise benefit to the common good, it is a suitable way to arbitrate fairly between the players. The results reveal the threshold values of novelty and inventive steps. In conclusion, an effective patent strategy can be to turn a patent from a competition lock into a positive catalyst for open innovation, which is the preferred equilibrium result between the interests of corporations, governments and individuals.

Summary form only as given. This paper explores whether it is worthwhile to patent every innovation. Beginning with the definition of the "negative right" a patent conveys, how it relates to other patents and inventions, and the value of timing, research and planning are all detailed. This paper is based on the author's own patent acquisition experience.

In this paper,the related policies of technological innovation and intellectual property about sports in China were introduced. The basic theory of patent map was recapitulated. Literature review about the technological innovation and patent protection of sports in China was made. The patent management map of Chinese sports was described from the perspective of patent types,annual trend,rate of granted invention,applicants and inventors,etc. The patent technological map of the Chinese sports was also presented from the perspective of patent IPC distribution and technological life cycle. Meanwhile,the technological innovation in the field of Chinese sports was analyzed correspondingly. It was shown that the technological innovation in the field of sports in China was promoted greatly by the successful bid for hosting the Olympic Games in 2001,but its level and quality needed further improvement and it needed further development after 2001. It was concluded that the role of specialized sport universities should be fully developed to enhance the level and quality of innovation.

The present paper is a study of how specific institutions affect innovation in a specific country. In the paper uses data for patents granted by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), a UN organization to map national innovations. Rather than analyzing in which fields, or sectors, patents are granted, which would meet with all the drawbacks that patents have as an indicator for innovation the authors use different information that can be drawn from patents.
