On Relationships between Technology Standards and Patented Technology Licensing
نویسنده
چکیده
There exist the close relationships between technology standards and patented technology licensing. Whether a technology standard contains a specific patented technology solution or not, there is always a patented technology licensing implied: patented technology licensing is a prerequisite for the existence and development of technology standards, and technology standards create a good many of potential chances for patented technology licensing. Furthermore, patentees achieve large-scale profits by means of licensing technologies through a standard mainly in form of a patent pool, which is realized by know-how licensing behind the patented technology licensing involved in the standard.

INTRODUCTION Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was a seminal genomic technology discovered, developed, and patented in an industry setting. Since the first of its core patents expired in March, 2005, we are in a position to view the entire lifespan of the patent, examining how the intellectual property rights have impacted its use in the biomedical community. Given its essential role in the world...
متن کاملAn NTU Game Approach to Patent Licensing: Stable Bargaining Outcomes under Two Licensing Policies
By formulating negotiations about licensing payments as cooperative games without side payments, we investigate stable bargaining outcomes in licensing a cost-reducing technology of an external patent holder to oligopolistic firms producing a homogeneous product under two licensing policies: fee and royalty. The final bargaining outcome in fee licensing is uniquely determined, because the NTU b...
متن کاملEnvironmental Technology Licensing Under Emission-Equivalent Environmental Taxes and Standards
We use a two-stage game with an outsider patentee and n homogeneous firms to study the effects of environmental taxes and standards under an equivalent emission on environmental technology licensing behavior. Counter to the intuition, a stricter environmental policy hinders technology licensing since a stricter environmental regulation weakens the licensee’s payment ability. When the innovation...

In this paper, we consider the issue of optimal licensing from the viewpoint of a public patent holder having no production facilities when the product market has a Stackelberg leadership structure. We show that fee licensing is always at least as good as royalty licensing for the public patentee maximizing the social welfare. It is also shown that for small innovations, there exists an equilib...
