一个有效的专利联盟的目标是在现有知识产权保护制度下,通过联盟成员的相互合作最大化联盟租金。生产和交易这两者都是专利联盟中不可或缺的过程。因此,仅仅从交易特征来解释专利联盟的边界难免会出现片面性,得出与事实相左的结论。对专利联盟效率边界的考察,既要考虑交易维度,又需考虑生产维度,不仅考虑资产专用性、不确定性和交易频率,还要将能力、知识产权制度因素纳入分析框架中。从交易、生产与知识产权等多重维度考察了专利联盟的效率边界。
The goal of an efficient patent pool is to maximize organizational rent under current IPR protection. So production, transaction and IPR are three inevitable processes in patent pool. Therefore,it is hard to avoid unilateralism so as to get reverse conclusion when review the efficient boundary of patent pool just considering the transaction attribute. The right way to analyze the efficient boundary of patent pool is that we should not only think over asset specificity, uncertainty, transaction frequency, but also include competence and IRP. This paper takes review of the efficient boundary of patent pool from multi-dimensions: transaction,production and IRP.
