Civil–Military Patents and Technological Knowledge Flows Into the Leading Defense Firms / Acosta, Manuel; Coronado, Daniel ; Ferrándiz, Esther   Journal Article
Acosta, Manuel Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Drawing upon 106,181 patent applications by the world’s largest defense firms and 241,571 patent citations (2002–2011), this article has two main objectives. The first is to explore the factors affecting the production of mixed patents (those with potential dual applications in both military and civilian spheres). The second is to identify the causes of the use of military knowledge for civilian inventions (spin-off) and the use of civilian knowledge in military patented technologies (spin-in). Our calculations show highly significant coefficients for the variables capturing the “military technological capability” and the size of the company in explaining the production of mixed technologies. The spin-off process is affected by the military technological capability, the size of the firm, and the location. The spin-in mechanism is explained by the military technological capability and the location of the firm, while the size of the company is not relevant.

Potential dual-use of military technology: does citing patents shed light on this process / Acosta, Manuel; Coronado, Daniel; Marin, Rosario   Journal Article
Acosta, Manuel Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2011.
Summary/Abstract This paper explores the potential civil use from the knowledge embedded in military technology. Using forward patent citation as indicator and from a comprehensive sample of 582 military patents with both US and European protection, we analysed the citations received for a military patents in subsequent patents. The technological origin of the citing patents will determine the use of a military technology. The methodology involves a descriptive analysis and the estimation of a multilevel logit model to determine the factors explaining the civilian use of military technology. The results show a differential behaviour among countries and types of military technology. Characteristics of firms, such as the technological experience of the company or institution in using military technology, are critical for a civilian use of the military knowledge.
