This page details the 'Core' papers of the Patent Thicket Literature Review (PTLR). A paper is 'core' if it explicitly models or studies patent thickets.

Pages containing previous versions of papers are indented below their subsequent version. Write-ups will only be done for the subsequent versions. The BibTex entries for these papers are available as a list on the PTLR Core Group Processed BibTeX page, and each paper page has its own BibTeX entry in its reference section.

Non-Core Papers

The following papers do not explicitly discuss patent thickets but are vital to an understanding of thickets or their measures:

  1. Hall (2005) - A Note On The Bias In Herfindahl Type Measures Based On Count Data

The following papers were erroneously classified as core:

  1. Cockburn Wagner (2007) - Patents And The Survival Of Internet Related Ipos
  2. Schacht (2006) - Patent Reform Issues In The Biomedical And Software Industries

Paper Origins

The vast major of these papers were contained in the first download. However, the following four papers were found during the 1st stage of convergence process:

  1. Merges (1999) - Institutions For Intellectual Property Transactions
  2. Merges Nelson (1990) - On The Complex Economics Of Patent Scope
  3. Murray Stern (2007) - Do Formal Intellectual Property Rights Hinder The Free Flow Of Scientific Knowledge
  4. Walsh Arora Cohen (2003) - Effects Of Research Tool Patents And Licensing On Biomedical Innovation

And the following paper was added as it was referenced in the review done by Kirti Gupta, deemed to be directly about thickets, and we didn't have it:

  1. Epstein Kuhlik (2004) - Is There A Biomedical Anticommons

Recently Added Core Papers

The following papers were recently added to the core and may not be fully processed as yet. They were reclassified from the Up, Down or Discard groups during the tagging process, or found during the 2nd stage of the convergence process.

  1. Bessen (2003) - Patent Thickets Strategic Patenting Of Complex Technologies
  2. EPO (2012) - Workshop on Patent Thickets
  3. Galasso (2007) - Broad Cross License Agreements And Persuasive Patent Litigation
  4. Hall Ziedonis (2007) - An Empirical Analysis Of Patent Litigation In The Semiconductor Industry
  5. Harhoff (2007) - The Strategic Use Of Patents And Its Implications For Enterprise And Competition Policies
  6. Heller (1998) - The Tragedy Of The Anticommons
  7. Mann (2005) - Do Patents Facilitate Financing In The Software Industry
  8. Merges (1996) - Contracting Into Liability Rules

In addition, Lessig's book is often used as a seminal reference for the anticommons. It deserves a mention but not a write-up (it isn't seminal - it refs Heller/Eisenberg).

  thicket_def={#A, #B, References Shapiro, References Heller/Eisenberg, Overlapping Patents, Cummulative Invention, Complementary Inputs, Diversely-Held},
  thicket_def_extract={...this story about the potential danger of patents in a field where innovation is sequential and complementary (where one builds on another, and the second complements the value of the first) gets additional support from an ingenious argument that Michigan law professor Michael Heller initially made and that economist James Buchanan has now followed up on.115 Heller introduces the concept of an “anticommons.” If a commons is a resource where everyone has a right to use the resource (and therefore sometimes overuse the resource), an anticommons is a resource where many have the right to block the use of a resource by others (and therefore many more underuse the resource)... Nobel Prize–winning economist James Buchanan has expanded this idea to the problem of regulation generally.116 He points to the problem of patents in particular as an example where multiple and overlapping patent protection may create an anticommons, where innovators are afraid to innovate in a field because too many people have the right to veto the use of a particular resource or idea. This potential for strategic behavior by these many rights holders makes it irrational for an innovator to develop a particular idea, just as the possibility of veto by many bureaucrats may leave a particular piece of real property underdeveloped.},
