Abstract: Abstract In the literature there is agreement on the fact that battles between two technologies sooner or later end with the dominance of one over the others, or, under certain conditions, with their coexistence. The aim of this paper is to understand if competition between rival technologies can be reopened after one technology dominates the market. We argue that, if a technology has prevailed this could not be a static situation, but rather a dynamic one. In doing so, we have analyzed the microprocessor market, finding a nonconventional S-curve trend.
