Giving up patent rights can accelerate innovation, study finds
11.05.23Research
A recent study published in Research Policy, the leading innovation journal, examines the effects of patent pledges on innovation. Patent pledges are voluntary commitments made by patent holders to limit the enforcement of their patents. The study, conducted by Prof. Gaétan de Rassenfosse from EPFL, Switzerland, and Prof. Alfons Palangkaraya from Swinburne University of Technology, Australia, estimates the effect of these pledges on follow-on inventions.
