Intellectual property rights have become increasingly important
for our modern economies in recent years. Although the entire
patent system has a profound effect on the decision of firms of
whether to conduct research and at which volume, patent law is the
heart of the entire patent system. Therefore, this book focuses on
the economic effects of certain provisions in patent law by using
economic models dedicated to patent policy.
The first part of the book presents a brief overview over the
history of patent systems and introduces the main components of
modern patent systems. A short introduction of the principal
provisions of US patent law constitutes the centre of the
subsequent analysis as it serves as a link between law and
economics. The second part presents core economic models for
central provisions, collecting the most fundamental results in a
national framework in the field of literature. Part three is
concerned with selected provisions of patent law in an
international framework. It provides valuable insights into the
situation of developing countries which are the chief recipients of
technology transfers.
Patent Policy will be of interest to researchers interested in
the field of modelling patent policy. It can be also used as
supplementary text in courses in Industrial Organization,
Innovation Economics and Law and Economics.
