58
Q

sustainable competitive advantage

A

A sustainable competitive advantage is a long-term strategy or process that allows a business to remain ahead of its competitors. Unlike short-term advantages, such as being the first to market a new type of product, a sustainable competitive advantage may be built into the fabric of a business, and will help maintain its dominance over years and even decades. The development of a sustainable competitive advantage often takes dedicated effort, the ability to consistently innovate, and even some luck. According to some of the most successful business minds in the world, sustainable competitive advantages are one of the main keys of long-term success.

One of the most likely sources of a sustainable competitive advantage is the ownership of a patent or trademark. Patents permit only the owner to create and license a certain product, meaning that customers can only buy it from the original source or licensed distributors. One of the keys to making a patent a sustainable advantage, however, is the inability of competitors to closely imitate the product with similar, though not infringing, versions.
