"Patent Racing: Empirical Evidence on who races and what effect it has for the winners and losers"
Neil Thompson and Jeff Kuhn
Abstract
This paper addresses the patent race literature, where there has been an enormous amount of theory work, but very little empirical evidence. We exploit detailed USPTO records to find instances when companies race for patent coverage, and provide a first empirical look at the frequency and effects of those races.
