This study analyzed the characteristics of coactivity in the field of fuel cells at institutional and individual levels by examining Science Citation Index papers and U.S. patents between 1991 and 2010. The findings reveal that few coactive institutions or individuals adopt a balanced approach to publishing papers and filing patents. Substantial differences in productivity were observed between research institutions and companies. Research institutions focus on research and publications, whereas companies emphasize technology innovation and obtaining patents. Furthermore, the difference between research institutions and companies in productivity regarding the publishing of papers is less substantial than that regarding filing patents. Companies exhibit coactive performance that is superior to that of research institutions.
