New interesting publication by two friends of the Galilei, Zhang Yafeng and Antonio Crupi. The authors investigate how patent quality is correlated with different commercialisation channels for university patents. A dataset of 2052 university patents, including the market price of patents, is employed for the empirical analysis. They find that patents with more claims are less likely to be sold but more likely to be licensed, meaning that the decision of patent license is focused more on the patent’s legal stability.
