Title
Patent information survey
Abstract
In October 1996, Sheffield University Management School carried out two surveys of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the UK, one of SMEs which had been granted a patent in 1990, and the other of a control group of SMEs. Both surveys were concerned with the information SMEs use for innovation, and both were part of a research project concerned specifically with the use that SMEs make of patent information for their innovation. The project: is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council and seeks to test the hypothesis that: the information that SMEs obtain from patent specifications makes a greater contribution to their innovation than the protection afforded by the patent system.
