This presentation and related paper contributes to research providing a new interpretation for the appropriability of critical industrial R&D, and in general to the literature on internationalization and maturation of R&D off shoring.
Critical R&D projects and technologies remain home-bound even in very large multinationals. Why? I was able to discuss the result of my quantitative empirical analysis directly with the managers involved in key decisions relating to the development of some of these technologies.
Their viewpoint suggests the presence of what I have defined “Safe R&D nests”. I will discuss that such “safeness” derives by a close coordination between scientific and technological research and management of intangible assets.

GaN-on-Silicon Substrate Patent Investigation 2014 Report by Yole DeveloppementYole Developpement
More players on the playground, business is starting: when will the IP battle begin?
GaN-ON-Si IS ENTERING PRODUCTION: WHAT IS THE PATENT SITUATION?
GaN-on-Si technology appeared naturally as an alternative to GaN-on-Sapphire—the main stream technology for LED applications. Today, despite potential cost benefits, the mass adoption of GaN-on-Si technology for LED applications remains unclear. Most major LED makers have a patenting activity related to GaN-on-Si technology, but so far, few have made it the core of their strategy and technology roadmap. Contrary to the LED industry, we expect GaN-on-Si to be widely adopted by Power Electronics and RF applications because of its lower cost and CMOS compatibility.
The growth of GaN-on-silicon substrate was first reported in the early-1970s (T. L. Chu et al., J. Electrochemical Society, Vol. 118, page 1200), since the early 1990s more and more academics and industrials have been involved in developing this technology. GaN-on-Si technology is now poised for a list of technical challenges. The high lattice mismatch between GaN and Si results in a high defect density in epitaxial layers (dislocations). The high thermal expansion coefficient (TCE) mismatch between GaN and Si leads to a large tensile stress during cooling from the growth temperature to room temperature. The tensile stress causes film cracking and a concave bending of the wafer (warpage). These factors combine to make both dislocation density and crack/warpage reduction a challenging task.
This patent investigation covers patents published worldwide up to December, 2013. The patents addressing the above mentioned challenges have been selected, and an in-depth analysis of patent holders and corresponding patented technologies is provided. This report does not include patents related to active layers or GaN-based devices.
Fundamental patents describing a gallium-nitride-based compound semiconductor grown on a silicon substrate were filed before the 1990s with the most significant assigned to TDK and Fujitsu. In the early 1990s, Toyoda Gosei and the University of Nagoya filed the first concepts of a buffer layer for improving the crystallinity of GaN. Those fundamental patents have been followed by an ever increasing number of applications since 1995 as more companies competed in GaN-on-Si technology to meet the technological challenges, the market demand and to lower manufacturing costs. Currently, the patented technologies reflect the significant improvements that have been made on key material issues such as dislocation density reduction and stress management for preventing cracks and warpage of the wafer. According to our analysis, GaN-on-Si IP is mature enough to initiate mass production.

A cloudlet is a mobility-enhanced small-scale cloud datacenter that is located at the edge of the Internet. Cloudlets represent the middle tier of a 3-tier hierarchy: mobile device - cloudlet - cloud.
Cloudlets aim to support mobile applications that are both resource-intensive and interactive. As a result, it is primarily used as a key element in technologies which require extensive transmission of digital information, electric digital data processing, pictorial communication, etc. The application areas include augmented reality systems, cloud games, automobiles, safety devices, animations, etc.
