The Learning Needs of the Patent System: Implications from Institutionalism for Emerging Technologies Like Synthetic Biology
2013
Social Science Research Network
This paper transposes dominant normative critiques with an institutionalist view of patent law by analysing how the multi-institutional setup of the patent system may determine the quality and coherence ...
The institutional environment of the patent system makes it opaque, sticky and complex. These significant features are examined for the first time in this paper. ...
The argument that the absence of any reference to the prior destruction of human embryos in the patent application would mean that products of such embryos are patentable was explicitly addressed by the ...

Patents as Credence Goods
2007
Oxford Journal of Legal Studies
This paper argues that in newly arising or immature technologies, patents are subject to intrinsic and extrinsic uncertainty that make them very opaque representations of the underlying inventions. ...
Patents in immature technologies do not solve Arrow's information paradox of non-rivalrous goods because they do not represent the sharp exclusive right that is central to his thesis. ...
