| Tiivistelmä: | This paper challenges the widely held view in the industrial organization literature that patents always speed up technological progress. The authors introduce a model of an innovating firm with uncertain property right to its innovation. The impact of a commitment to an R&D project is to create future options for patenting and market introduction. Each decision undertaken will change the conditions in which the innovator operates. |
