Patent Rights and Innovation Disclosure∗
"... This paper studies optimal patents with respect to the timing of innovation disclosure. In a simple model, we identify forces that lead firms to either suboptimally patent too early or too late in equilibrium, and we determine conditions so that stronger patents induce earlier or later equilibrium d ..."

-breeding industry. We find that weaker patent rights may result in welfare gains of 46 % relative to the status quo. The gains are achieved because weaker patents reduce competition, thus leading firms to postpone patenting. 1

, 2003
"... We combine estimates of the value of patent rights from a survey of patent holders with a set of indicator variables to model the value of patents. Our results suggest that both the number of backward citations (either to the patent or non-patent literature) as well as the citations a patent receive ..."

Selling Patent Rights and the Incentive to Innovate
"... Abstract We study a process (cost-reducing) innovation by an outside innovator who can auction off his patent rights exclusively to one firm in the industry instead of selling licenses to the firms directly. The winning firm can then sell licenses to other firms. This strategy turns out to be bette ..."

International Patent Harmonization and Trade Balance of Patent Rights ∗
, 2006
"... The economic implications of international patent harmonization have attracted little empirical scrutiny. Based on patent application and renewal data in major European countries since the early 1980s, this paper examines the empirical relationship between international patenting, R&D, and “trad ..."

Patent Rights and Economic Growth: Cross-Country Evidence
, 2009
"... The objective of patent rights is to foster innovation and economic growth. However, to date, there has been no systematic evidence that patents “work”. Here, we study the impact of changes in patent rights within cross-sections of up to 54 manufacturing industries in over 72 countries between 1981- ..."
