Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Book Chapter Description
This chapter aims to increase our understanding of the relationships between firm strategies, the design of institutional contexts on behalf of public agents, and the stimulation of diffused entrepreneurship within the economic system. In particular, it analyzes the way in which firm patent portfolio management strategies may systematically hinder the emergence of entrepreneurial endeavors within the economic system and, on this basis, critically discusses how the acknowledgement of these interactions should influence the design of public policies at the economic system level. We argue that in economic contexts where intellectual property rights (IPR) are influential, large firms may intentionally develop and strategically manage wide portfolios of patents in order to purposely pre-empt the rise of direct competition and thwart the efforts of new potential entrepreneurs, rather than merely to protect the fruits of their R&D. This strategy leads to patent proliferation, eventually hindering the emergence of nascent entrepreneurship, thereby preventing the creation of new value in the system. The pre-emptive strategy described may be observed in a variety of contexts in which global firms (such as IBM, Microsoft and other firms in the biotech, nanotech and pharmaceutical industries) tend to aggressively invest in building and protecting wide ranged and overarching patent portfolios directed primarily toward preventing potential competition.
