Building Appropriation Advantage: AN INTRODUCTION TO THE SPECIAL ISSUE ON INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
نویسندگان
چکیده
In a Copenhagen pizza shop in 1984, the Finnish engineer Matti Makkonen launched the idea of short message service (SMS) messages. Although Makkonen is still reluctant in claiming sole credit for developing SMS technology, he is widely acknowledged as the father of SMS. Whereas the International Telecommunications Union recently estimated that nearly 200,000 text messages are sent every single second, this “reluctant father of SMS” did not make any money out of his invention. To explain this lack of financial gains, he acknowledged in a recent text-messaging interview with the BBC that “I didn’t think I made a patentable innovation.”
