Abstract

Recent research has suggested that conventionality, in addition to novelty, creates value for invention. A balance between the novelty and conventionality of an invention may determine its eventual value, but is rarely understood. In this study, we use patents to approximate technological inventions, and measure the novelty, conventionality, and value of invention using patent reference and citation data from USPTO. Our empirical analyses of the patents in the 1990s reveal that medium conventionality and high novelty lead to high invention value. When conventionality is low or medium, increasing it may amplify the contribution of novelty to the value of invention. When conventionality is too high, invention value is generally low regardless of novelty. These findings provide implications and guidance to designers for enhancing the value of their potential inventions.
