International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management, 2009, vol. 9, issue 1/2, 4-11

Abstract: Even though stronger patent protection increases an innovator's incentives to innovate, the entrenched boundaries of her innovation may prove non-surpassable to some innovators, who choose not to innovate. As innovators abstain from innovating we should witness a reduction in knowledge spillovers that hinders innovation.

Keywords: patents; innovation barriers; knowledge spillovers; knowledge creation; intellectual property rights; IPR; patent protection. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
