摘要
文章简要地描述和分析了专利制度的基本运行机制,表明专利制度具有一个内容丰富的政策"工具箱",其中包括保护期限、保护宽度等。就其本质而言,专利可以看作计划者向潜在创新者提供的"机密交换契约",其市场价值随市场范围的增加而增加,它以法律手段解决了商业机密模式下创新知识的可占有性与累积性之间的内在矛盾。
The patent system has a very versatile policy toolbox, including statutory length, breadth, renewal system, etc. Patent, in its nature, is an exchange-for-secret contract that social planner supply to potential innovators. Its market value is highly uncertain and closely dependent on market scope. The ra- tionale of patent system is that, by strengthening R＆D incentives and encouraging information disclosure, it solves the intrinsic conflicts between the appropriability and accumulativeness of innovation knowledge.
