To this end, a large sample of firms from three regions in Spain is analysed through a binomial logit model. The authors find that age, size and financial performance significantly affect the choice of having green patents as eco-innovative conduct in firms. They also find that the sector of activity and the legal structure of firms are related with the choice of having, or not having, green patents to protect the innovations. Implications are explored for policy makers promoting the green patents registration and for practitioners introducing environmental improvement in the innovation processes. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 0.2 2019 Business, Management and Accounting (miscellaneous) 2019 Q3 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/submittedVersion Scarpellini, Sabina Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-7077-5352 Marín Vinuesa, Luz María (orcid)0000-0003-2827-3628 4002 230 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
