A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on July 31, 2004 and July 31, 2005.

Requesting an edit

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

I think it would be relevant to add in the “Benefits” section the following findings from a reliable source (scholarly papers). What do you think? I have a COI with de Rassenfosse. (See my userpage).

Reasoning for inclusion: This empirical evidence contributes to a better understanding of how patent protection can impact the long-term value and durability of innovations. By referencing this study, the article gains credibility and depth, enriching the information available to readers seeking insights into the advantages of patents in terms of innovation sustainability and economic impact.

Requested edit:

A 2018 study using data from the Australian Inventor Survey (AIS) found that patented inventions experience a lower depreciation rate of 1-2% compared to non-patented ones. ^[1] AM13prime (talk) 13:29, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting an edit

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

I think it would be relevant to add in the “Costs” section the following findings from a reliable source (scholarly papers). What do you think? I have a COI with de Rassenfosse. (See my userpage)

Reasoning for inclusion: This inclusion helps address concerns surrounding the proliferation of low-quality patents and their potential negative effects on litigation costs and innovation incentives. The study's results provide concrete evidence that the fee adjustment played a role in improving patent quality by reducing the issuance of lower-quality patents. As the patent landscape evolves, these findings offer insights into the potential effectiveness of using fees as a policy tool to enhance patent system efficiency.

Requested edit:

Scholars have discovered that increased patent fees, resulting from the Patent Law Amendment Act of 1982, filtered out roughly 10% of the lowest quality patents, which may address concerns about the rise of low-quality patents leading to increased litigation costs and reduced innovation incentives. ^[1] AM13prime (talk) 13:46, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Declined Placing this author's articles in several different Wikipedia pages is stretching it. One has already been placed. Regards, Spintendo 14:46, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

-== Exclusive right to ... ==
-{{ping|White whirlwind}} I have reverted your edit and have added a reference. The added reference comes from the section titled "Effects". The answer to your question: "''Which is encompassed in the term "exclusive right", though, isn't it?''" is definitely 'no', i.e. not "the exclusive right '''to make, use, or sell ...'''", as stated. A patent does not give its proprietor the right to practice the claimed invention because the claimed invention may be more specific that the invention claimed in another patent. Besides, even if there is no such patent claiming a more generic invention, a market authorization may be required in order to be entitled to make, use, or sell the claimed invention. I hope this is clearer now. Cheers --[[User:Edcolins|Edcolins]] ([[User talk:Edcolins|talk]]) 20:25, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

-The data about women's underrepresentation in patents is of dubious relevance to the article; its inclusion in the 'history' is not particularly justified. I propose its deletion.

-However, some governments are still biased (intentionally or unintentionally) towards foreign inventors. For example, scholars have found that in the U.S. and Chinese patent systems, inventions of foreign origin are about 10 percentage points less likely to be granted a patent than domestic inventions. In the United States, no intentional discrimination of foreigners was found. Rather, the evidence shows an unintentional discrimination of foreign inventors (i.e., disparate impact of rules and practices). <ref>{{Cite Web|last= de Rassenfosse|first=Gaétan|last2=Raiteri|first2=Emilio|last3=Bekkers|first3=Rudi|title=Discrimination in the Patent System: Evidence from Standard-Essential Patents|date=2023|website=SSRN|url=https://dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3007699|author-link=Gaétan de Rassenfosse}}</ref> <ref>{{Cite Journal|last=de Rassenfosse|first=Gaétan|last2=Raiteri|first2=Emilio|title=Technology Protectionism and the Patent System: Evidence from China|date=2022|journal=The Journal of Industrial Economics|volume=70|url=https://doi.org/10.1111/joie.12261|author-link=Gaétan de Rassenfosse}}</ref> <ref>{{Cite Journal|last=de Rassenfosse|first=Gaétan|last2=Hosseini|first2=Reza|title=Discrimination against foreigners in the U.S. patent system|date=2020|journal=Journal of International Business Policy|volume=3|page=349,350,363|url=https://doi.org/10.1057/s42214-020-00058-6|author-link=Gaétan de Rassenfosse}}</ref> <ref name="deRassenfosse2019">{{Cite Journal|last=de Rassenfosse |first=Gaétan |last2=Jensen |first2=Paul H.|last3=Julius|first3=T'Mir|last4=Palangkaraya|first4=Alfons|last5=Webster|first5=Elizabeth|title=Are Foreigners Treated Equally under the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights Agreement?|date=2019|page=2,21|journal=Journal of Law and Economics|volume=62|url=https://doi.org/10.1086/705801|author-link=Gaétan de Rassenfosse}}</ref>  Additional evidence points to the fact that filing international patent applications under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) mitigates some of this bias.<ref name="deRassenfosse2019"/> [[User:AM13prime|AM13prime]] ([[User talk:AM13prime|talk]]) 09:56, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
