| Tiivistelmä: | Patent litigation reveals important information about the validity of the contested patent to other potential entrants. This paper explores the implications of such informational externalities for entry dynamics in the presence of multiple potential entrants. The nature of the entry game can be one of either waiting or pre-emption depending on the degree of patent protection. The analysis may help explain the apparently puzzling practice of delaying patent suits. |
