Knowledge Accumulation and Novelty: Who Should Be Getting the Credit for an Idea?
نویسنده
چکیده
We propose a framework for modelling knowledge accumulation and discoveries. We draw a distinction between novel (original) pieces of knowledge and pieces of knowledge which are deducible from existing knowledge or past discoveries. We show that every deducible piece of knowledge is associated with a unique set of discoveries such that each discovery in this set is indispensable in deducing this piece of knowledge. This framework is useful in analyzing the issues of novelty, patentability, patent infringement, and the value of a patent.
