İmalât Sanayi Firmalarında Sınaî Mülkiyet Koruma Tercihleri

Öz

Bu çalışma, gelişmekte olan bir ülkede, firmaların sınai mülkiyet koruma tercihlerini ve korumaya verdikleri önemi etkileyebilecek bir dizi faktörü ampirik olarak incelemektedir. Çalışmada, Türkiye İstatistik Kurumunun Yenilik Araştırması 2012 verisinden yararlanılmıştır. Analizlerde, ürün sunulan pazar büyüklüğü, Ar-Ge aktiviteleri, istifade edilen bilgi kaynakları ve destekler gibi geleneksel faktörlerin yanısıra, organizasyonlar arası işbirlikleri ve farklı kurumsal stratejilerin etkilerine odaklanılmıştır. Henüz SM korumasının ilk aşamasında olunmasına rağmen, genel olarak farklı koşullar altında firmaların resmi ve stratejik koruma yöntemleri arasından tercihte bulunduğu görülmektedir. Sonuçlar, bir firmanın patent/FM koruma davranışının, firmanın yenilik stratejisine sahip olması ve daha çok dışa dönük yenilik faaliyetleri ile ilişkili olduğunu göstermektedir. Kurum içi ve piyasa temelli bilgi kaynakları ile yenilik stratejisi, tüm koruma yöntemleri üzerinde pozitif etkiye sahiptir. Diğer firma ve bilgi merkezleri ile işbirliklerinde patent/FM ve gizlilik birbirlerinin tamamlayıcısıdır. Sonuçlar ayrıca, marka tescili, patent/FM ve üretim süresi avantajının, ürün yeniliğini anlamlı olarak en fazla oranda etkileyen koruma yöntemleri olduğunu göstermiştir.

Intellectual Property Protection Preferences of Manufacturing Firms

Öz

This article explores the IP protection in a developing country by using a set of factors that may drive IP protection method preferences of firms and the importance they attach to the protection. Empirical analyses are based on the Turkish Community Innovation Survey 2012 data. The analysis focuses on inputs including different types of corporate strategies and cooperation in addition to traditional factors such as market size, R&D activities, knowledge sources and funds. Despite being in early stages of IP system, firms use both formal and informal protection mechanisms under different circumstances. Our results indicate that patents/UM protection behavior of firms is mostly associated with having an innovation strategy and outward-oriented innovation activities. Internal and market-based information sources and innovation strategy have a positive effect on all protection methods. Patent/UM and secrecy are complementary to each other in cooperation with other firms and information centers. Our results also confirm that trademark registration, patent/UM and lead-time advantages are the protection methods that significantly influence product innovation.
