here), inwards which IP is a contract betwixt innovators in addition to society; the monopoly protection of IP provides a long-term incentive to innovate. Society cannot foresee (information asymmetry) the value of each potential innovation, so all innovators are granted the same degree of protection. Assigning the holding correct to the innovator incentivises innovation every bit the innovator has a stake inwards the lawsuit in addition to the IP organization every bit a whole.

A finish of researcher work contracts is to align firms' innovation needs alongside employee incentives. Patents are sometimes used every bit a metric of performance. There is a large trunk of economical analysis on the purpose of patents every bit a stair out of innovation; the full general decision of which is that patents stair out patents, non innovation. More specifically, Harhoff in addition to Hoisl (2007) examine High German policies via a large survey, in addition to detect that, unsurprisingly, to a greater extent than valuable patents are associated alongside higher levels of employee compensation. Baker (1992) models scientists' salaries every bit alone subject on the discover of patents they create (a problematic assumption.) In his model, scientists are unduly incentivised to occur "easy" patents in addition to hence the employer reduces the per-patent payment to avoid overpaying. Nippon has recently changed its approach to patents, making it easier for employers to ain patents generated past times employees.

Finally, licensing contracts relish a never-ending analysis of incentives in addition to clauses. The main chore of lawyers negotiating in addition to drafting such contracts is to align the incentives inwards the contract alongside the needs of the client. While researching the biotech sector inwards 2007, I came across an interesting case. My interviewee had exclusively licensed a production on a royalty basis. The licensee instead marketed a competing product, leaving the licensor without royalties. The contract had been used to eliminate contest from the market, in addition to failed to align the parties' incentives. Another anecdote is the purpose past times wealthy Multi-national Companies (MNC) of reversion clauses when partnering alongside companies inwards developing countries. The MNC engages inwards articulation enquiry in addition to marketplace expansion, so deliberately causes the projection to neglect inwards monastic enjoin to trigger the reversion clause. Both background in addition to foreground IP, every bit per the contract, revert to the MNC. It's a inexpensive agency to expand internationally.

I invite readers to say their stories of the strange quirks of licensing contracts inwards the comments. In the meantime, I'm off to endure alongside Merpel on contract incentives of catnip producers. Fingers crossed for a Nobel!
