| Tiivistelmä: | The author addresses the issue of optimal patent protection in an economy with a downstream and a upstream sector. The key insight is that higher patent protection in the downstream sector raises the incentives of agents to do R & D in that sector bit discourages innovation in the upstream sector because of a market size effect. If some innovation is socially desirable, optimal patent protection is necessarily higher in the upstream than in the downstream sector. |
