Effects of Patent Privateering on Settlements and R&D in Markets with Product Differentiation

We investigate patent litigation, settlements and R&D incentives on a market where two firms develop technologies of differentiated products. Firms may sell IP rights to a Patent Assertion Entity (PAE) that acts as intermediary for patent monetization. We find that the effects of this so-called patent privateering are mitigated if the market is characterized by a higher degree of product differentiation. Furthermore, we show that privateering may decrease industry profits even when there is no rent extraction by the PAE by distortion of R&D incentives
