Technology and competitive analysis in IP

Technology and competitive analysisthe effects of intellectual property protection mechanisms on the competitiveness of companies, especially companies whose foundation and existence are often attributed to high technical intensity/knowledge. Thanks to direct surveys of startups in S&T parks and incubators, we evaluate the direct and indirect impacts of intellectual property protection mechanisms. Logical conjecture, based on a sample of 48 Portuguese companies, suggests that formal protection of the intellectual property is to the detriment of the companies' competitiveness. However, if a distinction is made between the types of intellectual property protection, the results suggest that informal guarantees such as time limits and the use of trade secrets promote the competitiveness of companies, whereas the use of guarantees can be achieved through formal protections, particularly patents, Compromises the trademark. . and Geographical Indication Competitiveness. The size and innovation profile of a company plays a part in influencing the protection of intellectual property on its competitiveness.
