The purpose of this study was to discuss the appropriability of the innovative effort in knowledgeintensive services collaborative relationships, considering the appropriability mechanisms choices in a process perspective. In such collaborative relationships, the choices regarding the appropriability mechanisms affect the capacity to obtain the expected returns of the innovative initiative. The work applies a qualitative research technique, based on multiplecase study, considering the innovative project as the unit of analysis. Unlike other studies that approach the phenomenon of appropriability of innovation, often based on static data and high level of aggregation, this work allows to identify specific aspects involved in appropriation of innovative effort by considering a lower granularity, as well as a dynamic perspective of the collaborative project. As a result, this study suggests that the construction of the appropriability in collaborative projects involving knowledge-intensive services firms can be considered as a dynamic process, conducted by the combination of formal and informal appropriation mechanisms, applied in order to both protect from imitation and sustain competitive advantages. The study also suggests that the choice of appropriability mechanisms is influenced by three dimensions that are also transformed throughout the collaborative project: 1) Knowledge base in both extent and degree of codification; 2) Knowledge flow exposure, due to the collaboration process; and, 3) Perception of innovation value, regarding the degree of uncertainty involved. Finally, the study proposes a representative graphical model that associates the dynamics involved in the appropriability of the innovative effort with the choice of the mechanisms, according to the three previous identified dimensions.
