1. Introduction
Although an important driver of diversity in managing innovation is firms’ varying ability both to protect themselves from imitation and to appropriate a satisfactory proportion of innovation returns (Thomä & Bizer, 2013), managing innovation inside family firms requires consideration of such firms’ long-term survival (D’allura, 2015). Accordingly, it is an integral part of family firms’ innovation and survival policy to foster the use of patents as a tool to protect firm property. Indeed, it is widely acknowledged that similar to nonfamily firms, family firms target technological innovation to develop competitive advantages (McCann, Guerrero, & Haley, 2001). Nevertheless, because family ownership and involvement affect business processes (Zahra, 2005; Romano, Tanewski, & Smyrnios, 2001), we argue that family firms take a different approach than nonfamily firms to managing technological innovation and particularly in strategically choosing appropriate tools for protecting their intellectual property. That notwithstanding, with only a few exceptions, family firms’ management of technological innovation and the peculiarities of family firms’ innovation process have not received very much attention in the literature (De Massis, Kotlar, Chua, & Chrisman, 2014). Based on that assumption, this paper aims to provide new evidence on innovation processes in family firms by investigating their attitude towards the protection of innovation outputs. More specifically, the primary objective is to understand, through the SEW (Socioemotional Wealth) lens, whether innovative family firms tend to use patents as an intellectual-property protection tool. Innovators – that is, firms that develop technological innovations – aim to maximize revenues from their R&D efforts (Granstrand, 1999; Teece, 1986). This project involves managing the issue of appropriability, i.e., the degree to which returns from investments in R&D accrue to innovators or to other market participants (Levin, Klevorick, Nelson, & Winter, 1987). Although the patent system was developed to address this problem (Kitch, 1977), it is not the only or necessarily the best solution. More specifically, innovators must contemplate whether it is better to capture profit from innovations by protecting them with patents or by other means such as industrial secrecy, lead time, first-mover advantages or complementary products and services (Mäkinen, 2007). Although the patent system is one of the most utilized intellectual-property protection tools, previous empirical literature highlights that the relationship between inventions, innovation and patents is not as simple as the one predicted by economic and innovation theories (Cohen, Nelson, & Walsh, 2004). Because not all inventions are patentable1 and because patenting is not always perceived by firms as the most efficient and effective protection tool, only some inventions are protected by patents.
