2 Agenda Economic Rationales for Patent Systems The Disclosure Debate The Inno S&T Project Measurement of Disclosure EffectsDescriptive Statistics Estimating the Time Savings Distribution Empirical Results Conclusion Dietmar Harhoff - The Social Value of Patent Disclosure 2 Prof. Dietma ar Harhoff, Ph.D D. 2011
3 Economic Rationales for Patent Systems incentive effects due to exclusion rights exclusion rights enhance ex post quasi-rents, R&D and invention efforts are encouraged (Nordhaus 1969) disclosure effects subsequent inventions are facilitated by access to patent literature (Roin 2007) safeguarding transactions, since patents reduce the need for secrecy (Merges 2005) signaling to investors in the presence of asymmetric information patents facilitate acquisition of venture capital (and thus entry) (Harhoff/Haeussler/Mueller 2009) support division of labor by allowing specialists for invention and design to emerge (vertical fragmentation) and by creating markets for technology (Hall and Ziedonis 2001) Dietmar Harhoff - The Social Value of Patent Disclosure 3 Prof. Dietma ar Harhoff, Ph.D D. 2011
4 The Disclosure Debate(1/4) (/) Many scholars and courts see patent disclosure as an important objective of patent systems. Machlup (1958) argues that a patent serves to disseminate technological information, and that this accelerates the growth of productivity in the economy. Eldred vs. Ashcroft (2003): the ( ) twin purposes of the patent system are encouraging new inventions and adding knowledge to the public domain. Towards that objective, patents are required to provide full disclosure in most national and regional patent systems. In Europe, the suggestion of insufficient disclosure is a frequently used and successful attack in oppsoition proceedings. Dietmar Harhoff - The Social Value of Patent Disclosure 4 Prof. Dietma ar Harhoff, Ph.D D. 2011
5 The Disclosure Debate (2/4) (/) A number of legal scholars (e.g., Roin (2009), Fromer (2007) and Seymour (2009)) claim that the system is not working well in the US and that that is due for systematic reasons, inter alia: Disclosure would be important for inventions that are hard to reverse-engineer but those are often protected by secrecy. Patents are opaque, hard to read and to extract information from. Other sources of technical information are easier to use and more suited for search There may be legal l risks in the US in using patents as a source of information - willful infringement rules leading to willful ignorance where ignorance is bliss Roin (2009, 2022f.). Dietmar Harhoff - The Social Value of Patent Disclosure 5 Prof. Dietma ar Harhoff, Ph.D D. 2011
6 The Disclosure Debate (3/4) (/) What do economists do in this debate? The more recent empirical i literature in economics: surveys of R&D managers (e.g. Yale Survey or CIS) show that patents are not used intensively, but there is heterogeity across industries/technical fields. In regressions ess s using relevance eva of patents ts as sources of information as determinants of inventive output or value, these are these without any significant impact (e.g. Arora et al. 2007). However, this form of evidence is very weak. What to make of one Likert-scale point in economic terms? Measurement problems? Do R&D managers really know? Dietmar Harhoff - The Social Value of Patent Disclosure 6 Prof. Dietma ar Harhoff, Ph.D D. 2011
7 The Disclosure Debate (4/4) (/) Summing up The empirical evidence in this debate is extremely thin. Most legal analysis is based on single cases and court statements. The arguments suggesting systematic failure are plausible, but there is virtually no empirical evidence. Economic studies have produced rather soft evidence so far and rely on assessments of managers who may not be deeply involved in the invention processes. Different approach here: ask inventors for quantitative data. Big question: is patent disclosure a contributor to welfare or just an overrated story?

InnoS&T project EU FP7 project: Innovative S&T indicators combining patent data and surveys: Empirical models and policy analyses a (InnoS&T, Grant Agreement No Collaborative project. Small or medium-scale focused research project) Duration: 36 months 01/04/ /03/2011 Consortium: Bocconi University (coordinator), LMU-Munich, KULeuven and IESE. Slide 8 Feb , 2011 InnoS&T Conference, Munich Myriam Mariani / Karin Hoisl
9 Aims of the InnoS&T project 1.develop and collect novel and systematic science and technology indicators 2.develop empirical models that can contribute to improve policies on the following topics: The economic use of the patents: unused patents and strategic patenting; licensing, entrepreneurship Science-industry linkages and innovation performance Gender, education and mobility of inventors The economic value of patents Slide 9 Feb , 2011 InnoS&T Conference, Munich Myriam Mariani / Karin Hoisl

33 Measurement of Disclosure Effects How to operationalize and measure the effects of disclosure? approach taken here: patent literature contains technically relevant information reading patents allows inventors to apply that information to subsequent inventions cost reduction due to knowledge of the patent literature We seek to measure this cost reduction at the level of patent applications (not inventors) within the context of an inventor survey.

38 Estimating the Time Savings Distribution ordered probit estimator with known threshold (standard in some statistics packages, e.g. intreg in Stata) using logarithms of threshold h values to delineate intervals covariates: initially only priority year and technical area (30 groups, OST-INPI classification, 6 main groups, country dummies) coefficents are identified via threshold information predicted values are then used to compute moments (alternative route: compute moments analytically from parameters of the log-normal distribution) Dietmar Harhoff - The Social Value of Patent Disclosure 38 Prof. Dietma ar Harhoff, Ph.D D. 2011

44 Conclusions (1/3) (/) Disclosure effects appear to be relatively small, but with some ht heterogeneity across technical hi lfild fields. Median Mdi (p90) (90) values 1.2 (2.7) hours in telecommunication 27.6 (99.8) hours in organic chemicals High (non-trivial) correlation between appropriation and disclosure effects. In areas in which important inventions are patented, inventors read patents and learn from them. Turned around: a (counter-factual) limitation of patent rights to areas like pharmaceuticals and chemicals is unlikely to cause cost increases for follow-up inventions. Dietmar Harhoff - The Social Value of Patent Disclosure 44 Prof. Dietma ar Harhoff, Ph.D D. 2011
45 Conclusions (2/3) (/) Very little evidence in favor of the positive disclosure story adopted by some courts, in particular the Supreme Court. Learning from past patents is a highly overrated story, at least as regards the facts. Normatively speaking, would we want to strengthen disclosure? Should there be more stringent requirements on disclosure? plain language (Bessen and Meurer 2009) invigorated patent disclosure (Fromer 2009) Agreement here there may be high costs in shifting towards radically more stringent standards. Moreover, the effects of that are highly uncertein. Dietmar Harhoff - The Social Value of Patent Disclosure 45 Prof. Dietma ar Harhoff, Ph.D D. 2011
46 Conclusions (3/3) (/) Importants Caveat - Does disclosure have significant other effects? avoiding duplication (coordination)? promoting efficient i stopping of R&D just the spark triggering inventions, but no cost reduction Are there better ways of measuring the impact of disclosure? dscosue? Many problems and weaknesses, but this is the only y( (non-qualitative) measurement attempt to date. Dietmar Harhoff - The Social Value of Patent Disclosure 46 Prof. Dietma ar Harhoff, Ph.D D. 2011
