Do Shorter Product Cycles Induce Patent Thickets?
Beschorner, Patrick - 2014
The traditional argument that shorter product cycles favor trade secret over patenting is reviewed. A game theoretic model provides an argument that shorter product cycles can induce firms to file more patent applications. The firms may be trapped in a prisoners' dilemma where all firms would...

Tracing Mobile Inventors – The Causality between Inventor Mobility and Inventor Productivity
Hoisl, Karin - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2006
This paper analyzes the causality between inventor productivity and inventor mobility. The results show that the level of education has no influence on inventor productivity. Making use of external sources of knowledge, on the contrary, has a significant effect on productivity. Finally, firm...
