| Abstract: | The author studies effect of litigation as a way to enforce patents when firms hold private information. Patent protection granted by courts affect the entry, settlement and litigation decisions of future innovations. The paper shows that higher protection might be detrimental to the patentholder since it reduces entry of infringers that would otherwise license the patent. Finally, the authors compare the effects of Preemptive Injunctive Relief on innovation and litigation. |
