摘要

In this study, the performance of 40 U.S. firms that own business method patents was compared with the performance of their matched sample nonpatenting competitors in order to explore patent-protected IS-enabled sustained competitive advantage. The ownership of these patents was not found to be a significant contributor to sustained competitive advantage when measured by financial and market share performance. However, the results can be used to guide much needed future research on this topic.
