Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, has the potential to shift supply chains from global networks that rely on centralized production with traditional manufacturing technologies to largely digital networks with decentralized, local 3D printing, i.e., digital inventory. One type of firm that is particularly well positioned to drive this transition are original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), who design and produce capital goods. In this paper we propose that the OEM acts as an intellectual property (IP) licensor by selling spare parts designs, rather than physical spare parts. With these designs a buyer can print spare parts locally at much shorter lead times and at lower setup costs. We consider both an OEM who serves multiple identical buyers, and an OEM who serves two non-identical buyers. For both cases we characterize the optimal IP license contract. This determines which customers opt for the IP license channel and which remain in the traditional centralized sales channel, thus creating insights into the degree to which a supply chain decentralizes. We numerically show this to occur in a surprisingly large number of cases and we observe significant profit increases for OEMs who adopt this new business model. Our results thus show that IP licensing by OEMs can become a major enabler in the transition to digital networks with decentralized 3D printing.
增材制造(AM),也被称为3D打印,有可能将供应链从依赖传统制造技术的集中式生产的全球网络转变为具有分散的本地3D打印(即数字库存)的主要数字网络。在推动这一转变方面处于有利地位的一类公司是原始设备制造商(oem),他们设计和生产资本货物。在本文中,我们建议OEM作为知识产权(IP)许可方出售备件设计,而不是实物备件。有了这些设计,买家可以在当地以更短的交货时间和更低的安装成本打印备件。我们既考虑服务于多个相同买家的OEM,也考虑服务于两个不同买家的OEM。对于这两种情况,我们描述了最优的IP许可合同。这决定了哪些客户选择IP许可渠道,哪些客户保留传统的集中式销售渠道,从而可以洞察供应链分散的程度。我们的数据显示,这种情况出现在惊人的大量案例中,我们观察到采用这种新商业模式的原始设备制造商的利润显著增加。因此,我们的研究结果表明,原始设备制造商的知识产权许可可以成为向分散式3D打印数字网络过渡的主要推动力。

Intellectual Property, Independent Creation, and the Lockean Commons 知识产权、独立创造和洛克共享
Pub Date : 2019-02-02 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3327897
Mala Chatterjee
Copyright and patent law – granting rights in very different kinds of entities, but nonetheless lumped together as “intellectual property” – are almost universally regarded as having the same theoretical underpinnings. The philosophical significance of the differences between these two areas of law thus remain almost entirely unexplored. Just one example of this tendency to theoretically unify copyrights and patents is Seana Shiffrin’s Lockean Arguments for Private Intellectual Property, which challenges Lockean theories of IP rights. But the present paper argues that Shiffrin’s challenge succeeds in the context of patents but not copyrights, due to significant differences between the two; and in so doing, it unearths and disentangles the philosophical implications of these distinctions between copyrights and patents – and, indeed, of distinctions within the “copyright” and “patent” bundles of rights themselves – including their numerous revisionary implications for existing law from the perspective of the Lockean framework. The article thus calls attention to intellectual property’s under-explored philosophical complexity, as well as the doctrinal and practical stakes of the questions it raises, so that we begin considering them far more carefully than they have yet been.
版权法和专利法——授予完全不同种类实体的权利,但却被统称为“知识产权”——几乎被普遍认为具有相同的理论基础。因此,这两个法律领域之间差异的哲学意义几乎完全没有得到探讨。这种在理论上统一版权和专利的倾向的一个例子是Seana Shiffrin的《私人知识产权的洛克论证》,它挑战了洛克的知识产权理论。但本文认为,Shiffrin的挑战在专利的背景下是成功的,而不是版权的背景下,因为两者之间存在显著差异;在这样做的过程中,它揭示并解开了版权和专利之间这些区别的哲学含义——实际上,是“版权”和“专利”权利束本身的区别——包括从洛克框架的角度来看,它们对现有法律的无数修正含义。因此,这篇文章呼吁人们关注知识产权未被充分探索的哲学复杂性,以及它所提出的问题的理论和实践利害关系,以便我们开始比以往更仔细地考虑它们。

Amazon is considered the preeminent online retailer in the world. It operates in varying areas from robotics, movie databases, web services, audio books, food markets, etc. Its expansive reach is a matter of e-commerce highly dependent on the logos and Amazon trademarks, such as the Amazon smiling face, the Amazon logo, etc. The E-commerce industry falls into the category of internet and software services according to S&P's Industry Surveys on "Internet Software & Services". E-commerce can be categorized into two major segments on the internet: business-to-consumer (B2C) and business-to-business (B2B). Amazon.com falls into the B2C category, because Amazon's main target is consumers. Amazon is the largest online retailer in the world. But it operates with a great deal of competitors. Below is a chart of the main competitors Amazon deals with in the economy.

Open Design 开放的设计
Pub Date : 2018-06-14 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3196120
S. Dusollier, T. Margoni
Within the broader concept of the commons, Open Design (OD) refers to a specific model of development, manufacture and distribution of products of industrial design, applied art and other physical artefacts. A defining element of this model is the open and collaborative work-flow that characterises the production of the artefacts. Another defining element is the employment of licences – when necessary – that allow modification and further distribution of the products. Finally, the use of the Internet to share digital blueprints of computerized numerical control or CNC machines to manufacture the products is another recurring element. OD found a receptive ecosystem within the context of 3D printing, where designers share their blueprints in the form of CNC files which can be directly executed by a 3D printer in order to make the product. Examples of collections of files intended to be printed in 3D are becoming very popular on the Internet (see e.g. Thingiverse). But Open Design is not limited to the internet and the digital dimensions even though it has therein found a particularly prosperous terrain: creators of objects can share their plans in many other forms in order to allow anyone to manufacture their creations. Open Design has therefore thrived within so called FabLabs, i.e. workshops where the sharing of manufacturing machines, know-how and knowledge is combined with the free availability of blueprints and plans.
在更广泛的公共概念中,开放设计(OD)指的是工业设计、应用艺术和其他实物产品的开发、制造和分销的特定模式。该模型的一个定义元素是开放和协作的工作流,它是工件生产的特征。另一个决定性因素是在必要时使用许可,允许修改和进一步分发产品。最后,利用互联网共享计算机数字控制或CNC机器制造产品的数字蓝图是另一个反复出现的因素。OD在3D打印的背景下发现了一个可接受的生态系统,设计师以CNC文件的形式分享他们的蓝图,这些文件可以直接由3D打印机执行,以制造产品。打算用3D打印的文件集合的例子在互联网上变得非常流行(例如Thingiverse)。但开放设计并不局限于互联网和数字领域,尽管它在其中发现了一个特别繁荣的领域:物品的创造者可以以许多其他形式分享他们的计划,以便任何人都可以制造他们的作品。因此,开放设计在所谓的FabLabs中蓬勃发展,也就是说,在车间里,制造机器、技术诀窍和知识的共享与免费的蓝图和计划相结合。

Do Intellectual Property Rights Influence Cross-Border Mergers and Acquisitions? 知识产权是否影响跨国并购?

This paper analyses whether the strengthening of intellectual property rights (IPRs) systems affects decisions of cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&As), and whether their influence is different for developed and developing countries and across industrial sectors. We estimate an extended gravity model to study bilateral flows of M&As using data for the post-TRIPS period (1995-2010) and two different indexes that measure the strength of IPRs systems at the country level. We find that IPRs influence decisions of cross-border M&As and facilitate the creation of investment linkages. However, we detect a heterogeneous impact of IPRs on M&As depending on specificities of countries and sectors.
本文分析了加强知识产权制度是否会影响跨国并购决策,以及它们对发达国家和发展中国家以及不同工业部门的影响是否不同。我们使用后trips时期(1995-2010年)的数据和衡量国家层面知识产权制度强度的两个不同指数估算了一个扩展重力模型,以研究并购的双边流动。我们发现,知识产权影响跨国并购决策,并促进投资联系的建立。然而,我们发现知识产权对并购的影响存在异质性,这取决于国家和行业的具体情况。

Intellectual Property and the Prisoner's Dilemma: A Game Theory Justification of Copyrights, Patents, and Trade Secrets 知识产权与囚徒困境:版权、专利和商业秘密的博弈论论证
Pub Date : 2016-08-17 DOI: 10.2139/SSRN.2825252

Setting aside various foundational moral entanglements, I will offer an argument for the protection of intellectual property based on individual self-interest and prudence. In large part, this argument will parallel considerations that arise in a prisoner’s dilemma game. After sketching the salient features of a prisoner’s dilemma, I will briefly examine the nature of intellectual property and how one can view content creation, exclusion, and access as a prisoner’s dilemma. In brief, allowing content to be unprotected in terms of free access leads to a sub-optimal outcome where creation and innovation are suppressed. Finally, I will argue that adopting the institutions of copyright, patent, and trade secret is one way we can avoid these sub-optimal results.
抛开各种基本的道德纠葛,我将提出一个基于个人利益和审慎的知识产权保护的论点。在很大程度上,这一论点将与囚徒困境博弈中出现的考虑相平行。在概述了囚徒困境的显著特征之后,我将简要地研究知识产权的本质,以及人们如何将内容创造、排斥和访问视为囚徒困境。简而言之,允许内容在自由访问方面不受保护会导致创造和创新受到抑制的次优结果。最后,我认为采用版权、专利和商业秘密制度是我们避免这些次优结果的一种方式。

Defining the Public Domain in Economic Terms – Approaches and Consequences for Policy 用经济学术语定义公共领域——政策的方法和后果
Pub Date : 2016-05-09 DOI: 10.5324/EIP.V10I1.1951
K. Erickson
Stimulating innovation and growth in the so-called ‘creative economy’ is a current policy objective for national regulators. One policy lever traditionally applied to the creative sector is intellectual property, in particular the scope and term of protection offered by copyright. Increased copyright protection limits the size of the public domain by restricting access to and use of cultural expressions. Opposition to expansion and further enclosure of the cultural public domain was previously articulated in terms of access to a commons of information. Following the Hargreaves Review of Intellectual Property in 2011, copyright reform in the UK context has been increasingly framed in terms of economic policy objectives. This paper reviews two economic approaches which shape how researchers and policymakers discuss the public domain in debates about IP reform: an economic welfare approach which weighs increases in producer and consumer surplus under different policy configurations and an economics of innovation approach which considers the value of the public domain as a reservoir of ideas for innovators and firms. I argue that economic definitions of the public domain should be augmented by a consideration of the democratic requirements of freedom of expression and access to information. The consequences of this re-figuration of the public domain for the public interest and access to information are discussed.
在所谓的“创意经济”中刺激创新和增长是各国监管机构当前的政策目标。传统上适用于创意部门的一个政策杠杆是知识产权,特别是版权提供的保护范围和期限。版权保护的加强通过限制对文化表现形式的获取和使用,限制了公共领域的规模。反对文化公共领域的扩张和进一步圈地,以前曾在获取公共信息方面表达过。继2011年《哈格里夫斯知识产权审查》之后,英国的版权改革越来越多地以经济政策目标为框架。本文回顾了两种影响研究人员和政策制定者在知识产权改革辩论中如何讨论公共领域的经济学方法:一种是经济福利方法,它在不同的政策配置下权衡生产者和消费者剩余的增加;另一种是创新经济学方法,它认为公共领域的价值是创新者和企业的思想宝库。我认为,公共领域的经济定义应该通过考虑言论自由和获取信息的民主要求而得到扩充。讨论了公共领域的这种重构对公共利益和信息获取的影响。

Intellectual Property Valuation: Asset Strength Approach (Evaluation of the Strength of an Asset Against the Commercial Technology Covered by the Asset) 知识产权估价:资产实力法(对资产所涵盖的商业技术的资产实力进行评估)
Pub Date : 2015-05-20 DOI: 10.2139/SSRN.2615115
G. Speier, Raj Gupta
Intangible assets include intellectual property (IP), such as patents, trademarks, copyrights, etc. There are numerous reasons for valuing intangible assets, and different approaches have historically been employed. The historical methods of IP valuation share a common drawback ─ the failure to critically evaluate the IP per se. The IP valuation approach set forth herein utilizes both a critical evaluation of the strength of the IP, as well as a market analysis of the key (or “target”) technology covered by the IP. The market analysis yields a value of the key technology. A critical evaluation of the IP is then carried out. For the critical evaluation, the IP (e.g., patent) is carefully reviewed to determine how well (or poorly) the IP covers the key technology, and how strong (or weak) is the underlying IP. The strength of the IP is evaluated by carrying out a detailed and exhaustive due diligence review of the IP and a freedom-to-operate (FTO) clearance review of the key technology. The asset strength approach for IP valuation is unique in that it includes an assessment of the strength/weakness of the underlying IP.
无形资产包括知识产权,如专利、商标、版权等。无形资产估值的原因有很多,历史上采用了不同的方法。传统的知识产权估值方法都有一个共同的缺点──无法对知识产权本身进行批判性评估。本文提出的知识产权评估方法既利用了对知识产权实力的批判性评估,也利用了对知识产权所涵盖的关键(或“目标”)技术的市场分析。市场分析得出了关键技术的价值。然后对知识产权进行关键评估。对于关键评估,要仔细审查知识产权(例如专利),以确定知识产权覆盖关键技术的程度,以及基础知识产权的强度(或强度)。通过对知识产权进行详细而详尽的尽职调查审查,并对关键技术进行自由操作(FTO)许可审查,评估知识产权的实力。知识产权估值的资产强度方法是独特的,因为它包括对基础知识产权的优势/弱点的评估。

The historical methods of IP valuation share a common drawback ─ the failure to critically evaluate the IP per se. The IP valuation approach set forth herein utilizes both a critical evaluation of the strength of the IP, as well as a market analysis of the key (or “target”) technology covered by the IP. The market analysis yields a value of the key technology. A critical evaluation of the IP is then carried out. For the critical evaluation, the IP (e.g., patent) is carefully reviewed to determine how well (or poorly) the IP covers the key technology, and how strong (or weak) is the underlying IP. The strength of the IP is evaluated by carrying out a detailed and exhaustive due diligence review of the IP and a freedom-to-operate (FTO) clearance review of the key technology. The asset strength approach for IP valuation is unique in that it includes an assessment of the strength/weakness of the underlying IP.","PeriodicalId":237857,"journal":{"name":"IRPN: Innovation & Other Intellectual Property Law & Policy (Sub-Topic)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115486982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper analyzes the role of expenditures on property right protection within a standard quality ladder model of endogenous growth. We develop a model where quality of each good improves as a result of innovation. Once the innovator develops a higher quality good there is an exogenously given rate at which the good is targeted for imitation. We allow the innovator to undertake expenditure to protect the good from imitation and thereby reducing the effective probability of imitation. We show that the total intensity of property right protection is inversely related to the cost of property right protection and the effectiveness of the property right system. We also find a subsidy that reduces the per unit cost of property right protection has the same impact as an improvement in the efficiency of the property right system. In both cases the intensity of innovation goes up. We then consider the growth implications of the model and show that in the steady state the economy grows at a constant rate. However, during the transition to the steady state the rate of growth is positively related to the rate of innovation.
本文在内生增长的标准质量阶梯模型中分析了产权保护支出的作用。我们开发了一种模式,其中每种商品的质量都因创新而提高。一旦创新者开发出一种高质量的产品,这种产品就会有一个外生给定的模仿率。我们允许创新者承担费用以保护产品不被模仿,从而减少被模仿的有效可能性。我们发现,产权保护的总强度与产权保护的成本和产权制度的有效性成反比。我们还发现,降低单位产权保护成本的补贴与提高产权制度效率的效果是一样的。在这两种情况下,创新的强度都在上升。然后,我们考虑了模型的增长含义,并表明在稳定状态下,经济以恒定的速率增长。然而,在向稳定状态过渡的过程中,增长率与创新率呈正相关。
