Abstract: Using a duopoly model of a patent race, it is shown that a stricter environmental policy might increase the probability of a sleeping patent instead of encouraging environmental technological progress. Two scenarios are discussed. The first concerns the regulation of a firm that competes with a foreign firm. The second concerns the regulation of a duopoly in a closed economy.
