"The doctrine of patentable subject matter precludes basic inventions such as abstract\r\nideas and laws of nature from patent protection. However, current economic\r\nthinking of the patent systemstresses the necessity of rewarding pioneering inventors\r\nin the cumulative innovation process. In a two-stage innovation modelwhere the first\r\nstage invention (basic invention) has no stand-alone value and the pioneer can also\r\nparticipate in the second stage, I show that patent protection to the basic invention\r\nmay increase rather than hamper the second stage performance. Rejecting patents\r\non the basic invention can promote technology progress when the pioneer has high\r\ncapacity, but the follower has low capacity to engage in the second stage innovation.\r\n"^^ .
