Abstract

So far we have seen the inherent uncertainty that the IP system creates as a result of its structural complexity. The way patent claims are conceived generates a multilayer, intertwined system of broad and narrow mixed claims that is very hard to fathom, and that adds to the lack of resources by patent offices, thus leading to imprecise decisions granting patents, which are a constant source of conflict. In other words, the supply of patent services is cumbersome, and therefore expensive; its price is usually defined through less-than-optimal preemptive strategies or simply by expensive court settlements or litigation.

For a detailed literature review, see Hall et al. (2014).

Cost theory is traditionally related to utility theory. Under economic theory, costs are inextricably linked to the subject’s projected want satisfaction. Therefore, the only way in which cost can influence choice is the perception at the very moment of choice of the satisfactions foregone (Wicksteed 1967: 391, quoted by O’Driscoll and Rizzo 1985: 48). Failure to spot an opportunity that the system offered through better IP management is clearly a ‘social cost’ that undermines wealth creation in society. For these reasons, we refer to these failures as ‘costs’ that could have been avoided.
