The impacts of academic patenting and licensing on knowledge production and diffusion: a test of the anti‐commons effect in Taiwan
基于229位台湾学术专利发明人的数据，检验学术专利与许可对知识生产与扩散的反公地效应，发现该效应在应用导向研究和披露延迟中更显著，提醒鼓励学术许可的政策需注意其副作用。
This paper empirically examines the emerging anti‐commons effect of academic patenting and licensing on knowledge production and diffusion in Taiwan. Through a dataset of 229 Taiwanese academic patent inventors, the results reveal that the anti‐commons effect is not significant as expected. However, this effect has becomes more vivid in application‐oriented research and disclosure delay while academic patent inventors have involved more in licensing activities. Programs to encourage academic licensing should be aware of the side effects on academic knowledge production and diffusion.
