Findings Do patents hinder open innovation and collaboration? The protective and secretive nature of the patent would suggest that it does. After all, if a company wants to hide or protect a product then, surely, they are unwilling to work with others?

Ultimately, it seems, patents may stifle innovation to some degree, but the security that they provide actually encourages firms to collaborate with others.

In short, it is nothing less than the almost willful sabotage of all the good things a company tries to do.
