A research study at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain, which analyzes the relationship between R+D and patents, for the first time has estimated the role that secret innovations play, determining that the effects of R+D on patents are not nonlinear, depend on the quality of the patent, are dynamic, and have a large amount of inertia.
