Criticisms of patent laws for technological innovations in the United States reveal a multifaceted milieu of problems centered around the protection of short-term economic gain and individual property rights. In this article, we consider this a conflict between current patent laws and the innovation capabilities of organizations. We propose a solution that enables the company to assure its long-term survival in the face of these restrictions. This presumes that the firm will at least maintain its innovation capacities while preserving the company's ethical values and those of its social environment. We offer a theoretical model that is designed to help managers and policymakers reorient their governance strategies for managing the innovation process, using the “ethics of responsibility,” which establishes the link to individual moral values at the beginning of a governance process as well as the consequences of a decision. Our integrated causal model of ethical innovation for patents is presented and implications for global organizations and possible solutions for patent law process failure are offered.

美国专利保护与技术创新的冲突：基于创新伦理的综合因果模型分析与解决

对美国技术创新专利法的批评揭示了围绕保护短期经济收益和个人财产权的多方面问题。在本文中，我们认为这是当前专利法与组织创新能力之间的冲突。我们提出了一种解决方案，使公司能够在面对这些限制时确保其长期生存。这假定公司至少将保持其创新能力，同时保留公司的道德价值观和社会环境的价值观。我们提供了一个理论模型，旨在帮助管理者和政策制定者重新调整其管理创新过程的治理策略，使用“责任伦理，”，它在治理过程的开始以及决策的后果中建立了与个人道德价值观的联系。我们提出了专利道德创新的综合因果模型，并提供了对全球组织的影响以及专利法程序失败的可能解决方案。
