Abstract: Based on the resource perspective, this paper builds a framework of how technology capability and host country market experience affect firms’ exclusive strateg in international licensing. 529 patent license contracts with foreign licensors and Chinese licensees, recorded in China Intellectual Property Office from 2002 to 2011, were collected to examine the effect of licensors’ technology capability of on their propensity to adopt exclusive licensing. The moderate effect of host country market experience is also be examined. The results show that: (1) with the licensors’ technology capability increase, the propensity to adopt exclusive licensing in international licensing decrease; (2) with the licensors’ technology depth increase, the propensity to adopt exclusive licensing in international licensing decrease; (3) comparing with poor host country market experience licensors, the negative relationship between technology capability and the propensity to take exclusive licensing is stronger for the licensors with rich host country market experience; (4) comparing with poor host country market experience licensors, the negative relationship between technology breadth and the propensity to take exclusive licensing is stronger for the licensors with rich host country market experience.
