This study contributes to the addressing of the Patent-R&D
relationship from a new perspective, analyzing a crucial yet
ignored question: Can more patents have a negative effect on
R&D investment? Offering an extensive synthesizes of existing
theoretical and empirical literature, we focus on the arguments
that might sustain a negative impact of patents over R&D. The
Patent system seems to have created an incentive to massive
patenting with no perceivable significant(maybe even negative as
our results show) impact on R&D and as for certain introduced a
set of costs that may actually lower the optimal R&D investment
level of firms and slow down technological progress. This book
builds a strong case against the one-size-fits-all approach of IPR
legislation across different technological fields and across
different stages of country development, providing an intresting
reading both for policy makers, as well as academic researchers.
Nevertheless, its comprehensiveness and easy-to-read text also
makes it suitable for the general public.
