Intellectual monopolies as a new pattern of innovation and technological regime

Cecilia Rikap: Intellectual monopolies as a new pattern of innovation and technological regime. In: Industrial and Corporate Change, 2023.

Abstract

Building on Schumpeter Mark I and Mark II, I propose an additional pattern of innovation and technological regime called the intellectual monopoly (IM) to explain the co-habitation of large incumbent firms with high entry and exit rates and provide evidence for pharmaceuticals and information technologies. I associate the IM pattern and technological regime with corporate innovation systems and illustrate that patterns not only evolve after changes in technological regimes but also due to economic, political, and institutional transformations.
