Paten is a rough measure of innovation and be one measure of performance R & D institutions. The low productivity of patents indicates the problem of innovation capability. The purpose of this study is to find out specific factors in sharing knowledge that can influence the capabilities of innovation. These factors are referred to as knowledge management enablers, which refer to individual dimensions (learning motivation, interpersonal trust, knowledge self-efficacy), organizational dimensions (top management support and reward systems), and technological dimensions (information and communication technology use). The results of the analysis using the PLS-SEM method, it is known that interpersonal trust variables, knowledge-self efficacy from the personal dimension and ICT use from the technological dimension, is the variable that has the most positive effect on knowledge sharing with the parameter coefficient values of 0.263, 0.467, and 0.159 with a significance level of ρ <0.05. While the top management variable and reward system variables from the organizational dimension do not have a direct effect on knowledge sharing with a value of 0.806 and 0.022 at the significance level ρ> 0.05. The results of the study also show that knowledge sharing has a positive effect on innovation capability with a parameter coefficient of 0.478 at the significance level of ρ 0 .000 <0.05. Keywords: Innovation Capabilities, Knowledge Sharing, Knowledge Management Enablers, R & D Institutions. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1. INTRODUCTION One indicator of innovation capability is the number of patents approved because it can describe the capacity of an organization to develop a product, which in turn can determine the level of competitive advantage, patent is one of the intellectual property rights products that can be considered as a rough measure of the level of innovation of a country through products and services created in a specific local scope [1]. The role of the organization of research and development (R&D) becomes very important in innovation because this organization produces a variety of knowledge that comes from experiences and experiments and integrates it for the creation of knowledge and new products and innovation [2]. Innovative organizations must be able to improve the capabilities of innovation both in terms of individuals and organizations themselves. One effort that can be done to improve the capability of innovation is through knowledge sharing activities [3]. Knowledge sharing between co-workers in an organization is able to create cooperation by communicating with each other about their intellectual capital both in the form of knowledge and skills so that it will encourage the ability to innovate. Lack of innovation capabilities at the organizational level can be influenced by the presence of obstacles in the processes of knowledge management, especially knowledge-sharing activities. Obstacles in sharing knowledge among fellow researchers / inventors result in knowledge gaps that are valuable in supporting patent productivity performance. Obstacles in knowledge sharing is consistent with the results of the study by [4] which states that the biggest challenge in knowledge management d i organization of R & D is to ensure the participation of persons or members of the organization in an activity to share knowledge and collaborate in the re-use (re-use) results of activities previous. The cause of low innovation capability in principle involves three elements of knowledge management that cannot be separated from one another namely human elements, organizational elements and technological elements [4], these three elements are the main elements in knowledge management that must synergize so that the organization's strategic goals achievable. Factors that affect the human element, organization and technology in the implementation of knowledge management is called the Knowledge Management Enabler (KME). KME must be optimized so that the knowledge management process can
