"This paper considers patent granting as a two-tiered process, which consists of\r\npatent office examination (public enforcement) and court challenges (private enforcement).\r\nIt argues that, when the patent-holder has private information about the patent\r\nvalidity, (i) a weak patent is more likely to be settled and thus escape court challenges\r\nthan a strong patent; and (ii) when the economy suffers from the low patent quality\r\nproblem, a tighter examination by the patent office may strengthen private scrutiny\r\nover a weak patent. Both work against Lemley (2001)’s hypothesis of a “rationally\r\nignorant” patent office."^^ . "2009-09" . . . . . . . "Jing-Yuan"^^ . "Chiou"^^ . "Jing-Yuan Chiou"^^ . . . . . .
