Papers on Managing Intellectual Property
The International Journal of Intellectual Property Management (IJIPM) is calling for papers to be published in an upcoming special issue: "Tug of War in the Field of IP – Searching for a Balanced Attitude to Managing Intellectual Property".
This special issue addresses the balance between different approaches to managing intellectual property, the tug of the war in the field of IP. Instead of just evaluating benefits and downsides of varying alternatives, the goal is to bring together studies that discuss seemingly contradictory issues in an integrative manner, paying attention to their interplay. In addition to providing tools for choosing between alternative forms of IP management as such, the aim is to find ways for managing combinations of contradicting strategies.
For this special issue, contributions are invited from scholars and practitioners with insights from economic, legal, and management perspectives on dealing with paradoxes related to IP management. Papers may be theoretical or empirical in nature.
The subject areas for the special issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- IP management in open innovation
- Knowledge sharing and protection for profiting from IP
- Organising for IP management
- IP management in different networks
- Managing IP when collaborating with competitors (coopetition)
- Dilemmas related to standardisation and IP management
- Combining different appropriability mechanisms
- Efficient and profitable uses of intellectual property rights
- Defensive publishing vs. patenting
- Alignment of business strategy and IP strategy
- Organisational capabilities in choosing IP management approach
- Managerial values and attitudes in creating innovative combinations
