Abstract: This study examines how innovation modes, STI (Science and Technology-based Innovation), DUI (Innovation based on learning-by-Doing, learning-by-Using, learning by-Interacting) and their combination, shape firms’ use of formal and informal intellectual property protection mechanisms (IPPM) and influence product innovation performance. Using panel data from the National Innovation Activities Survey (2010 2021) of Uruguay, results show that STI drives formal IPPM and enhances innovation likelihood and novelty, while DUI fosters informal IPPM with limited impact on innovation outcomes. However, combined STI-DUI strategies generate coordination tensions, constraining innovation performance
