Abstract

[eng] Patents and Industrial Strategy: The Example of Telecommunications . From Graham Bell's telephone to the new switching techniques for the future information highways, the world of telecommunications has always favoured patents as a way of protecting its innovations. Although the strategies of the sector's players (operators and equipment manufacturers) have changed drastically in recent years with the new regulations and the introduction of competition into services, one constant remains: filing patents to protect innovations. . Nevertheless, behind this apparent unity lies a wide range of patent-filing strategies. These strategies use different organizational methods and means depending on the country, the nature of the players, the competitive context and the technological property to be protected. . The telecommunications sector's history and number of innovations therefore make it a select field for the study of the integration of patent policies into industrial strategies. [fre] Brevets et stratégie industrielle : l'exemple des télécommunications . Du téléphone de Graham Bell aux nouvelles techniques de commutation des futures autoroutes de l'information, le monde des télécommunications a toujours privilégié les brevets dans la protection de ses innovations. Si les stratégies des acteurs du secteur (opérateurs et équipementiers) ont largement été bouleversées ces dernières années par la nouvelle donne réglementaire et l'introduction de la concurrence dans les services, une constante subsiste : la protection de l'innovation par les brevets. . Toutefois, derrière cette apparence d'unité, un large éventail de stratégies de dépôt de brevets se profile. Ces stratégies mettent en œuvre des méthodes d'organisation et des moyens différents selon les pays, la nature des acteurs, le contexte concurrentiel et le patrimoine technologique que l'on souhaite protéger. Par son histoire et par le nombre de ses innovations, le secteur des télécommunications est donc un champ d'étude privilégié de l'insertion des politiques de brevets au sein des stratégies industrielles. [spa] Patentes y estrategia industrial : el ejemplo de las telecomunicaciones . Desde el teléfono de Graham Bell hasta las nuevas técnicas de conmutaciôn de las futuras autopistas de la informaciôn, el universo de las telecomunicaciones siempre favoreciô las patentes en cuanto forma de protéger las innovaciones. Si bien las estrategias de los actores del sector (agentes y suministradores de equipamiento)fueron fuertemente modificadas en en los ûltimos ahos por el nuevo giro reglamentario y la introducciôn de la competencia en el âmbito de los servicios, la protecciôn de la innovaciôn mediante las patentes sigue siendo una constante. . Sin embargo, por debajo de esta apariencia de unidad se vislumbra un amplio abanico de estrategias a la hora de registrar patentes. Estas estrategias solicitan unos métodos de organization y medios diferentes segûn los pafses, las caracterîsticas de los actores, el contexto de competencia y el patrimonio tecnolôgico cuya protecciôn se viene anhelando. . Por su historia y la cantidad de sus innovaciones el sector de telecomunicaciones es un campo privilegiado de estudio en cuanto a la inserciôn de las polîticas de patentes en el seno de las estrategias industriales.
