| dc.description.abstract | The presentation expands on the concept of “thickets” in Intellectual Property Rights such as when a company obtains multiple patents associated with a product, process, or formulation “during and towards the end of the protection period of the base patent, with the aim of keeping generics off the market beyond expiry of the first patent.” A disincentive to invest in R&D can result where there is a patent thicket. Patent-pools are suggested as a means to counter-balance the effects of thickets. Examples of successful patent-pools are provided. | en |
