Patent Trolls and Technology Diffusion
Patent assertion entities, sometimes known as ‘patent trolls,’ do not manufacture goods themselves but profit from licensing agreements that they often enforce via the threat of litigation. This paper explores empirically how litigation by one such patent troll affected the sales of medical imaging technology. It finds evidence that relative to similar products, made by the same firm, but not c...

متن کاملInventor Mobility and Technology Diffusion as Evidenced in Patent Data
This paper analyses the nature of knowledge spillovers from research and development in the field of liquid crystal display technology as evidenced in citations of US patents filed during the twenty year period 1976–1995. By considering the role of inventors' mobility in facilitating the flow of ideas across space and innovating organizations, the paper adds a new dimension to the existing lite...
متن کاملFdi Technology Spillovers and Wages
This study distinguishes multinational firm (MNE) technology-spillover from learning effects. Whenever learning takes time, the model predicts that foreign investors deduct the economic value of learning from wages of inexperienced workers and add it to experienced ones to prevent them from moving to local competitors. Hence, the national wage bill is unaffected by the presence of MNEs. In cont...
