Chapters 3 and 4 provide a more fine-grained analysis of patent law and related legal institutes. Chapter 3 explores economic justifications for patents and the trade-off between innovation and efficiency. Subsequently, it explores specific issues, such as patent race and patent thicket, and the role of patent enforcement in technology transfers and licensing.
