Edited by Thierry Madies, Dominique Guellec, Jean-Claude Prager
EPUB
Description
The development of patent markets should allow for better circulation of knowledge and more efficient allocation of technologies at a global level.
However, the beneficial role of patents has recently come under scrutiny by those favouring 'open' innovation, and important questions have been asked, namely: How can we estimate the value of patents?
How do we ensure matching between supply and demand for such specific goods?
Can these markets be competitive? Can we create a financial market for intellectual property rights?
In this edited book, a team of authors addresses these key questions to bring readers up to date with current debates about the role of patents in a global economy.
They draw on recent developments in economic analysis but also ground the discussion with the basics of patent and knowledge economics.
Striking a balance between institutional analysis, theory and empirical evidence, the book will appeal to a broad readership of academics, students and practitioners.
