Private Agreements for Coordinating Patent Rights: the Case of Patent Pools
IEL PAPER IN COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF INSTITUTIONS, ECONOMICS AND LAW NO. 5 Private Agreements for Coordinating Patent Rights: The Case of Patent Pools Nancy Gallini June, 2011 This paper can be downloaded without charge at the IEL Programme – Institutions Economics and Law Working Paper Series http://www.iel.carloalberto.org/Research-and-Pubblication/Working-papers.aspx or http://polis.unipmn.it/index.php?cosa=ricerca,iel Private Agreements for Coordinating Patent Rights: The Case of Patent Pools Nancy Gallini* Abstract Inventors and users of technology often enter into cooperative agreements for sharing their intellectual property in order to implement a standard or to avoid costly litigation. Over the past two decades, U.S. antitrust authorities have viewed pooling arrangements that integrate complementary, valid and essential patents as having pro‐ competitive benefits in reducing prices, transactions costs, and the incidence of legal suits. Since patent pools are cooperative agreements, they also have the potential of suppressing competition if, for example, they harbor weak or invalid patents, dampen incentives to conduct research on innovations that compete with the pooled patents, foreclose competition from downstream product or upstream input markets, or raise prices on goods that compete with the pooled patents. In synthesizing the ideas advanced in the economic literature, this paper explores whether these antitrust concerns apply to pools with complementary patents and, if they do, the implications for competition policy to constrain them. Special attention is given to the application of the U.S. Department of Justice‐Federal Trade Commission Guidelines for the Licensing of Intellectual Property (1995) and its companion Antitrust Enforcement and Intellectual Property Rights: Promoting Innovation and Competition (2007) to recent patent pool cases. -

For the first time, after a decade of budget cuts and salary freezes, Canadian universities in Ontario can plan for the future without the anxiety that an economic crisis will sabotage their efforts. However, it is too early to relax--at least in economics departments. The funding situation in Canada may be improving but our relative ability to compete in the international arena (particularly, the U.S.) remains weak. Economic expansion in the U.S. has been stronger and investments in its public Tradeoffs – Department of Economics, University of Toronto – Fall 2000 2 and private universities are more plentiful. So, despite increasing prosperity in Canada, economics departments must run harder than ever to maintain their competitive position. Adding to this challenge are exploding enrollments in our economics programs, a response to increased market demand for students with economics training. This is good news for us when we have sufficient faculty to teach them. But we are undergoing significant faculty turnover, resulting from the wave of resignations and early retirements.
