Unlike many other theoretical approaches, the negative effect a patent may have due to the disclosure requirement linked to every patent application is taken into account. Seen in this light, the effects driving the propensity to patent can be identified as the opposing forces of a protective and a disclosure effect. The theoretical investigation includes an analysis of patenting behavior in a setting with vertically and horizontally differentiated products. Due to imperfect patent protection competitors of the patentee may enter the market for the innovative product despite a patent. An empirical investigation of the theoretical results with data from the 2005 Mannheim Innovation Panel in combination with patent information from the European Patent Office provides strong evidence for the main conclusions. 000026286 650_0 $$aPatents$$zEurope. 000026286 650_0 $$aPatents. 000026286 650_0 $$aIndustrial organization (Economic theory) 000026286 650_0 $$aPatents$$xEconomic aspects. 000026286 650_0 $$aMicroeconomics. 000026286 650_0 $$aEconomics/Management Science. 000026286 650_0 $$aEconomics. 000026286 650_4 $$aPatent application 000026286 650_6 $$aBrevets d'invention. 000026286 651_0 $$aEurope$$xCommerce$$xLaw and legislation. 000026286 7001_ $$aZaby, Alexandra. 000026286 830_0 $$aContributions To Economics. 000026286 903__ $$aContributions to economics 000026286 942__ $$cMON$$jG 41 ZAB.D 000026286 952__ $$w2011-01-19$$p2011-0059$$r76.95$$u40532$$bMAIN$$10$$kG 41 ZAB.D$$v2011-01-19$$zTagged$$71 000026286 980__ $$aBIB 000026286 999__ $$c28677$$d28677
