Patent Disclosure in Standard Setting

Bernhard Ganglmair () and Emanuele Tarantino

No 11-15, Working Papers from NET Institute

Abstract: We present a model of industry standard setting with two-sided asymmetric information about the existence of intellectual property. We provide an equilibrium analysis of (a) firms' incentives to communicate ideas for improvements of an industry standard, and (b) firms' decisions to disclose the existence of intellectual property to other participants of the standardization process.
