In patent communities several patentees cooperate contractually to licence the respective patented technologies to third parties. In consideration of the rising relevance of this business practice, this book discusses crucial courses and strategic considerations, which are the basis for the establishment of patent communities, both in legal and empirical regard, in order to identify the optimal conditions for successful conversion in a competitive surrounding. Thus the best conditions for the promotion of innovation are to be created.

"This book pulls together for the first time, works on knowledge and innovation, including the implementation of new processes and products, written by Dorothy A Leonard over more than two decades. It consists of articles from journals in diverse fields (e.g. the award-winning article on Core Capabilities and Core Rigidities) and book chapters that cover the innovation process, from its inception in peoples' heads to its implementation. An underlying theme running throughout the book is managing the flow of knowledge that propels innovation - especially tacit knowledge.

Foreign direct investment (FDI) is becoming increasingly critical to the economies of developing countries, in part due to a major expansion in the scope of global value chains (GVCs), whereby lead firms outsource parts of their production and services activities across complex international networks.

Defining the true meaning of the acronym FRAND reminds of the parable of two political parties arguing before the elections: who is right and who is wrong, although they both know that there is no such thing as one truth and most utterly it depends on the individual perspective. Given the very substantial legal and business concerns involved within the telecommunication standardization environment, the conflicts what FRAND terms and conditions means seem to be unavoidable.
