The Interdependence of Intellectual Property and Sales in the Manufacturing Industry
Firms often struggle with the successful commercialization of innovations, and there is a need for reliable predictors. Prior research suggests that intellectual property (IP) rights play a key role in the commercialization of innovations. However, to what extent can IP rights be used to predict successful commercialization of innovations in the manufacturing industry? Our paper studies the role of patents and trademarks and their complementary and substitutive relationships to predict commercialization success as measured by sales. We also analyze potential reciprocal relationships between commercial success and IP rights. The relationships are explored in a panel dataset of 2,617 German Mittelstand firms over a 10-year period. The results of a panel vector autoregressive model show a short-lived positive effect of patents on sales growth and vice versa. However, no significant effects are found between trademarks and sales growth. Finally, a positive and complementary relationship between patents and trademarks is documented.
Ecological Patents and Trademarks as Indicators of Ecological Innovation
The identification of ecological innovation and ecologically innovative firms is important for understanding the role of innovation and technology in the transition to a greener economy. Information from patent and trademark data offers an objective, transparent, fast, and cost-effective way to identify ecological innovation, particularly compared to information gathered from surveys. However, the validity of this measurement approach has not been fully established yet. This study combines survey, patent and trademark data and investigates whether ecological patents and trademarks can help to identify ecologically innovative firms by using two characteristically different samples from German...
Confessions of a Bookseller
A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'Irreverently funny ... kept me giggling all week.' Scotland on Sunday "Do you have a list of your books, or do I just have to stare at them?" Shaun Bythell is the owner of The Bookshop in Wigtown, Scotland. With more than a mile of shelving, real log fires in the shop and the sea lapping nearby, the shop should be an idyll for bookworms. Unfortunately, Shaun also has to contend with bizarre requests from people who don't understand what a shop is, home invasions during the Wigtown Book Festival and Granny, his neurotic Italian assistant who likes digging for river mud to make poultices.
Yoga, Fascia, Anatomy and Movement, Second edition
"From Anatomy to Architecture, from Biomechanical to Biomotional and from Classical to Connected "- speaks to all bodies, in all modalities; in a world seeking unity and connection more than ever. Yoga, Fascia, Anatomy and Movement was written partly as an appeal for Yoga Teachers to appreciate the depth and breadth of Yoga as a science, a movement practice and a philosophy that fundamentally espouses "wholeness" as the basis of living anatomy and form. Yoga calls for unifying who and how we are; and as teachers - how we can help our clients (who are all different) move better. Classical Anatomy (in the West) divides the body down into its component parts and traditionally (unchanged for 400...
Remainders of the Day
'Effortlessly charming ... it is soothing to sink once again into the rhythms of Bythell's year' TLS The Bookshop in Wigtown is a bookworm's idyll - with thousands of books across nearly a mile of shelves, a real log fire, and Captain, the bookshop cat. You'd think after twenty years, owner Shaun Bythell would be used to the customers by now. Don't get him wrong - there are some good ones among the antiquarian erotica-hunters, die-hard Arthurians, people who confuse bookshops for libraries and the toddlers just looking for a nice cosy corner in which to wee. He's sure there are. There must be some good ones, right? Filled with the pernickety warmth and humour that has touched readers around the world, stuffed with literary treasures, hidden gems and incunabula, Remainders of the Day is Shaun Bythell's latest entry in his bestselling diary series.
Confesiunile unui librar
Într-o casă în stil georgian, populată de mii de cărți și stăpânită de un motan dolofan, Shaun Bythell veghează peste teritoriul celui mai mare anticariat din Scoția. Din spatele tejghelei, el este șef și angajat, coleg al unor librari țăcăniți, arhivar și colecționar. Ritmul existenței lui se împarte între numeroasele vizite făcute pentru achiziționarea cărților, întâmpinarea clienților în magazin și mici însemnări zilnice inspirate din întrebările și comentariile acelorași clienți. Confesiunile unui librar este un jurnal scris printre cărți pentru cititorul pe care-l întâlnești printre cărți.
Zpověď knihkupce
Ke známému skotskému knihkupci, majiteli labyrintového obchodu nacházejícího se v malebném přímořském městečku, i nadále bohužel chodí lidi. Projevují zdánlivý zájem o knihy a literaturu, tak mu nezbývá nic jiného než jejich chování tak nebo onak strpět. Jak je ale možné, že nechápou rozdíl mezi knihovnou a knihkupectvím? Jiní zase klidně dovnitř vnášejí — do čerstvě uklizeného obchodu! — bahno nebo tam vstupují i se svými mokrými psími miláčky či spíše psy baskervillskými. Pohybují se nemotorně a shazují knihy, za což se nikdy neomluví. Drze smlouvají a dožadují se slevy jen proto, že je kniha trochu plesnivá. A teď ještě ta Italka! Slovo jí není rozumět, jen všechny v bílých rukavicích autoritativně diriguje a chudáka majitele nutí provádět cvičení na záda. Není tedy divu, že už toho na něj bývá příliš. Naštěstí ale má kde na všechna svá knihkupecká příkoří zapomenout a vydává se na ryby, plave v moři, jezdí na kole po Vysočině nebo zajde na pivo do hospody. Alespoň na chvíli pryč od všech těch „čtenářů“…
