here), inwards which IP is a contract betwixt innovators in addition to society; the monopoly protection of IP provides a long-term incentive to innovate. Society cannot foresee (information asymmetry) the value of each potential innovation, so all innovators are granted the same grade of protection. Assigning the belongings correct to the innovator incentivises innovation equally the innovator has a stake inwards the consequence in addition to the IP organization equally a whole.

Trophies, by R. Oxley, CC
A finish of researcher work contracts is to align firms' innovation needs amongst employee incentives. Patents are sometimes used equally a metric of performance. There is a large trunk of economical analysis on the purpose of patents equally a mensurate of innovation; the full general decision of which is that patents mensurate patents, non innovation. More specifically, Harhoff in addition to Hoisl (2007) examine German linguistic communication policies via a large survey, in addition to notice that, unsurprisingly, to a greater extent than valuable patents are associated amongst higher levels of employee compensation.  Baker (1992) models scientists' salaries equally solely subject on the seat out of patents they create (a problematic assumption.)  In his model, scientists are unduly incentivised to operate on "easy" patents in addition to thence the employer reduces the per-patent payment to avoid overpaying. Nippon has recently changed its approach to patents, making it easier for employers to ain patents generated past times employees.

Finally, licensing contracts savor a never-ending analysis of incentives in addition to clauses. The principal task of lawyers negotiating in addition to drafting such contracts is to align the incentives inwards the contract amongst the needs of the client.  While researching the biotech sector inwards 2007, I came across an interesting case. My interviewee had exclusively licensed a production on a royalty basis. The licensee instead marketed a competing product, leaving the licensor without royalties.  The contract had been used to eliminate contest from the market, in addition to failed to align the parties' incentives. Another anecdote is the purpose past times wealthy Multi-national Companies (MNC) of reversion clauses when partnering amongst companies inwards developing countries. The MNC engages inwards articulation inquiry in addition to marketplace expansion, so deliberately causes the projection to neglect inwards monastic state to trigger the reversion clause. Both background in addition to foreground IP, equally per the contract, revert to the MNC. It's a inexpensive agency to expand internationally.

I invite readers to tell their stories of the strange quirks of licensing contracts inwards the comments.  In the meantime, I'm off to operate amongst Merpel on contract incentives of catnip producers. Fingers crossed for a Nobel!
