Collaborative R&D in the robot technology in Japan: an inquiry based on patent data analysis (1991-2004)

The growing trend of collaborative RD but it has increased between 1991 and 2004, especially in the case of collaboration between firms and universities. Second, RD however, it is not possible to clearly identify if one theoretical hypothesis is better supported by the facts.
