主   题Shadow of Crises: The Spillover Effect of Litigation on Patent Strategies

主持人:张佳敏 博士

主讲人:徐明弢   博士 助理教授 清华大学经管学院

摘   要:

Firms facing crises often shift the time horizon of their resource allocation and undertake short-term actions. While prior research mainly studies how such adverse events affect the focal firm, the impact may go beyond firm boundary and influence other firms that also perceive risks. Such spillover is critical to fully understand the impact of adverse events on firms. In this study, we investigate how firms pivot their patent strategy in response to litigation risks. Specifically, we focus on litigation initiated by patent assertion entities (PAEs) that are known for frequently targeting multiple firms in the same industry for patent infringement. Using data on PAE lawsuits, we find that firms facing heightened litigation risks acquire more and higher-quality patents, while producing fewer and lower-quality patents.
