Illuminating Innovation: From Patent Racing To Patent War, Lea B. Shaver
Illuminating Innovation: From Patent Racing To Patent War, Lea B. Shaver
Lea Shaver
Patent law assumes that stronger protection boosts innovation. Yet empirical evidence to test this “innovation hypothesis” is lacking. This Article argues that historical case studies hold unique promise to provide an empirical foundation to patent law. The Article then offers such a case study focused on electrification. Specifically, this Article uses the history of patent prosecution and litigation surrounding the lightbulb to examine a recently articulated theory of “patent racing” as a justification for patent protection.
As put forth by Mark Lemley, racing theory suggests that patent protection raises the stakes of being the first to reach a technological milestone, …
Necessity Is The Mother, But Protection May Not Be The Father Of Invention: The Limited Effect Of Intellectual Property Regimes On Agricultural Innovation, A. Bryan Endres, Carly E. Giffin
Necessity Is The Mother, But Protection May Not Be The Father Of Invention: The Limited Effect Of Intellectual Property Regimes On Agricultural Innovation, A. Bryan Endres, Carly E. Giffin
A. Bryan Endres
Standard innovation theory assumes that intellectual property protection is a prerequisite to the development of technological advances. Stretching back to the writing of the Constitution, a strong intellectual property system, comprised of both laws that establish intellectual property protection and a judicial or other adjudicative system to enforce the property right, has been considered necessary to stimulate innovation for the benefit of society. While not directly challenging this traditionally held belief, the authors used empirical data to test the assumption in the context of agriculture. This paper analyzed twenty years of agricultural production data from Argentina, Brazil, China, India, and …
Rethinking Regulation And Innovation In The U.S. Legal Services Market, Ray W. Campbell
Rethinking Regulation And Innovation In The U.S. Legal Services Market, Ray W. Campbell
Ray W Campbell
For decades, academics have argued that the US system for regulating the practice of law inhibits innovation. Despite that academic consensus, we live in an age of unparalleled innovation in the way legal services are provided to clients in the United States. What gives? How can we live in a regulatory environment that prevents innovation, and have such an abundance of it? Where is this innovation coming from, and from whence might more innovation come? The answers are neither simple nor obvious. Understanding this changing landscape requires a close look both at how innovations take root and at the US …

Illuminating Innovation, Lea B. Shaver
Lea Shaver
The central justification offered for patent protection is the need to incentivize technological innovation. Yet to date there is little empirical evidence that this aim is achieved. This Article argues that historical case studies, exploring the impact of patent law on particular fields of technological innovation, can be especially helpful in providing an empirical foundation for patent scholarship. The Article then proceeds to offer one such case study, focused on one of the most important technological revolutions of the past two centuries: electrification. Although Thomas Edison and “the incandescent lamp” have been extensively studied, so far no one has asked …
Transferability And Commercialization Of Patent Rights: Economic And Practical Perspectives, Haim V. Levy
Transferability And Commercialization Of Patent Rights: Economic And Practical Perspectives, Haim V. Levy
Journal of Entrepreneurship, Management and Innovation JEMI
The transformation of innovation into commercial value depends primarily on appropriate protection of the intellectual property, usually by patents, and efficient pathway(s) of its transferability as well as the transfer of the protected knowledge. The key features of patents, from an economic perspective, are that they encompass new knowledge and confer monopoly rights to the owner. The exclusiveness of patent rights is generally conceived as a necessary mechanism to ensure further innovation, stimulate advanced research and facilitate efficient market transactions with patent rights. The patent holder can transfer the technology embodied by way of granting to others a license to …
The Spanish Cod Fishing Industry: Radical Production Changes Without Significant Changes In The Innovation System, Manuel González-López
The Spanish Cod Fishing Industry: Radical Production Changes Without Significant Changes In The Innovation System, Manuel González-López
Journal of Entrepreneurship, Management and Innovation JEMI
This paper studies the changes which have occurred in the Spanish cod fishing industry in the last few years. We also aim to understand the dynamics of industrial change and its relation to institutions, understood here as both formal and informal rules and conventions. Our results suggest that sometimes industries, in order to maintain their competitive position, need something more than incremental changes in their products or in the technologies that they use. As we can see with the Spanish cod fishing industry, major changes are needed which affect the institutional set-up of their production system. Nevertheless, even when major …

A Developmental Approach To The Patent-Antitrust Interface, Thomas K. Cheng
A Developmental Approach To The Patent-Antitrust Interface, Thomas K. Cheng
Thomas K. Cheng
This Article proposes a set of guiding principles for approaching the patent-antitrust interface in developing countries. Based on the notion that antitrust doctrines need to be adjusted to reflect the local economic circumstances, this Article argues that any credible approach to the patent-antitrust interface in developing countries must incorporate development considerations. It proposes a set of guiding principles that takes into account a wide range of factors, including the need to provide innovation incentives, the need to facilitate domestic imitation, the need to protect domestic consumer welfare, and the need to safeguard access to basic necessities. With the support of …

On Some Of The Misconceptions About Entrepreneurship, Murray Hunter
Murray Hunter
Entrepreneurship has been played up by the media as a visionary and heroic activity. Individual entrepreneurs have been glorified through media coverage, biographies, and publicity contributing to many government and public misconceptions entrepreneurship. This paper examines some of the myths about entrepreneurship, looking at relevant research and statistics, and paints a very different picture to general public perceptions. The paper then goes on to postulate that entrepreneurship is only part of the firm lifecycle, very little innovation is generated by start-up ventures, there is no common entrepreneurial type of person, people start new businesses for non-rational reasons, very few entrepreneurs …

Do We Have 18th Century Courts For The 21st Century, Michael Buenger
Michael Buenger
State courts continue to face both funding and political challenges. In light of these challenges state court leaders, the bar and legal educators should undertake a serious rethinking of our state courts along three thematic lines: (1) systemic reorganization to reduce fragmentation, simplify access, and provide greater flexibility and specialization in the use of resources; (2) diversification of dispute resolution processes so that cases move in different directions with a range of resolution options pegged to the issues presented; and (3) rationalization of governance, leadership, and accountability systems to enhance effective organizational management of complex institutions.

Linking Development And Innovation: What Does Technological Change Bring To The Society?, Evgeny A. Klochikhin
Evgeny A. Klochikhin
Recently, there has been a popular trend in academic research for paying more attention to ‘pro-poor’ policies and theoretical studies. This tradition has emerged from a broader understanding of development that includes not only economic but also social and political dimensions. Meanwhile, innovation researchers are still considering development as mere economic growth without much focus on the social impacts of technological change. This article recognizes that, despite these fundamental differences, the concepts of innovation and development have much in common and are, in fact, positively connected and mutually beneficial. This assumption has some important implications for the innovation and development …
