Abstract: The growth of the market for patents has drawn the attention of innovation management scholars and policymakers, especially regarding the impact this market may have on innovation. One of their prominent questions is whether firms exploit the market for patents to obtain strategic benefits over their market rivals rather than compete through the acquisition of technologies, which may aggravate ex-post patent holdup and increase the cost of innovation.
