摘要
Open source communities as large-scale paradigm innovations have attracted a lot of attention from scholars. In this paper, we analyze the possible effects that software companies' participation in open source communities can have on corporate patents through knowledge flow theory. Technological innovation resulting from the acquisition of technical knowledge by open source communities shortens the cycle of corporate technological innovation. However, since firms' technological innovation activities can only be imitations and follow-the-flow innovations, they may sometimes cause the failure of firms' technological innovation.
