| Tiivistelmä: | An important channel for knowledge spillovers within industries is 'job hopping' by engineers and scientists. This study explores the efficacy of corporate reputations for toughness in patent enforcement (hereafter as: p-e). Using data on p-e. activity, intra-industry inventor mobility, and patent citations in the U.S. semiconductor industry, it is found that a firm's litigiousness significantly reduces spillovers otherwise anticipated from departures of employee inventors, especially when the hiring organizations are entrepreneurial ventures. Surprisingly, the deterrent effects of p-e. are similar in magnitude for Californian firms and firms headquartered in other U.S. states. |
