Applying novel datasets, Fabian Gäßler analyzes how key aspects of
the current patent system in Europe and Germany, respectively,
affect patent enforcement and patent trade. In particular, he shows
what factors determine court selection in patent litigation and how
the jurisdictional separation of validity and infringement
questions favors the patent holder. The author further provides
empirical evidence for the market for patents in Europe. The
presented findings yield important implications for the ongoing
debate on the optimal design of patent systems.
