It provides new insights on the links between markets, technologies and legislation by applying a variety of empirical and analytical tools. The book explores how the structure of ownership of U.S. software patents and the quality of software patents have been affected by changes in legislation. The success of the Open Source movement to establish an alternative regime to IPRs is analyzed by illuminating the economic rationale beyond it and how Open Source can strategically be used by firms. 000048163 650__ $$aIntellectual Property 000048163 650__ $$aInnovation 000048163 650__ $$aEconomic growth 000048163 650__ $$aInformation technology 000048163 904__ $$aBook 000048163 980__ $$aBIB
