Resumo: The literature reports that patents are commonly seen as isolating mechanisms. Nevertheless, our knowledge as to how firms manage both patents and the patenting process to capture the benefits realised from innovative effort is still scant. In this paper we explore how firms use the patenting process to enhance appropriability conditions. Based upon case studies of six various sized UK pharmaceutical firms our findings suggest that it is mainly by managing a whole portfolio of patents that firms will generate the full benefits of patents and limit the operations of (potential) competitors. The portfolio approach is one alternative to broaden the scope of protection. Along the same lines our sample firms also revealed their interest in broader territorial coverage. Although the protection achieved is largely determined by the legal framework, firms revealed that the timing of application is pivotal in determining the scope of the final patent grant and other related follow-up patents.

No entanto, nosso conhecimento ainda é limitado sobre como as firmas gerenciam tanto as patentes como o processo de patenteamento para capturarem mais benefícios oriundos do esforço inovador. O presente artigo explora como as empresas usam o processo de obtenção das patentes para tentarem fortalecer as condições de apropriação. Com base em estudos de casos de seis empresas farmacêuticas de vários portes do Reino Unido, nossos achados sugerem que é principalmente através da gestão de uma carteira de patentes que as empresas conseguem obter mais benefícios desse tipo de propriedade intelectual e conseguem limitar mais eficazmente as ações de potenciais competidores. Essa abordagem é uma alternativa para se ampliar o escopo da proteção. Da mesma forma, as empresas da nossa amostra também revelaram o interesse em ampliar a cobertura territorial da proteção patentária. Embora a proteção alcançada seja determinada em grande parte pelo arcabouço legal, as firmas revelaram que o momento em que os pedidos de patentes são depositados é crítico para se determinar o escopo da patente original e das demais patentes subseqüentes e relacionadas com a original.Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul2013-04-15info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionCase StudyAvaliado pelos paresinfo:eu-repo/semantics/otherapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/read/article/view/38838Electronic Review of Administration; Vol. 16 No. 3 (2010): Edição 67 - set/dez 2010; 660-684Revista Electrónica de Administración; Vol. 16 Núm. 3 (2010): Edição 67 - set/dez 2010; 660-684Revista Eletrônica de Administração; v. 16 n. 3 (2010): Edição 67 - set/dez 2010; 660-6841413-23111980-4164reponame:REAd (Porto Alegre.
