| Abstract: | Joint patenting of companies, the sharing of property rights of inventions, is a relatively unknown phenomenon that is generally seen by patent lawyers and companies alike as second-best option that, if possible, should be avoided. Nevertheless, the amount of joint patents has increased during the last couple of decades and despite its impopularity companies often engage in co-ownership of patents. The present exploratory study is one of the first contributions that provides insight into relevant, international, legal complications of joint patenting, sectoral trends and patterns and the motivation of companies to enter into these specific patenting agreements. |
