The strategies firms use to protect their intellectual property and knowledge
can strongly influence their ability to capture the benefits of their innovative efforts.
In attempting to appropriate their innovations, firms can chose from a range of
mechanisms, including patents, trade secrets and lead times. Yet, little is known about
how the use of different appropriability mechanisms may shape innovative
performance. Using a large-scale database of UK manufacturing firms, we examine
how legal (such as patents) and first mover (such as secrecy) appropriability strategies
shape performance. We find that both strategies are curvilinearly (taking an inverted
U-shape) related to innovative performance, indicting that some firms may suffer
from a myopia of protectiveness, relying too heavily on appropriation to the detriment
of other activities.
