Projects under this theme take a deeper look at the process of innovation in an attempt to identify the drivers of innovation in organisations and economies. This research is undertaken with a focus on clarifying the role intellectual property plays in innovation, and whether it is a driver or a result or both.

Questions:

• What factors lead to changes in national patenting rates?
• What contribution does the productivity of individual inventors make to firm R&D?
• How do current technologies evolve from background intelletual property?
