Specifically, the use of patents as transactional elements has become widespread. However, the market for patents possesses specific features that differentiate it from other markets. This book provides evidence for its existence and addresses its particular conditions. It also takes a deep dive into patent intermediaries, discussing how they emerged, their activity and business models, as well as their impact on market structure, firms, and societies. Patent intermediaries participate in market transactions by offering various services and by bridging supply and demand of patents. In the last decades, some of them (so-called pejoratively patent trolls) have become popular for their aggressive litigiousness. However, the activity and presence of patent intermediaries are much more significant. To enhance our understanding of the role of patent intermediaries, the authors provide a comprehensive review of the role of these agents in the Economy. Mario Benassi is Full Professor of Management and Business Administration at the University of Milan (Italy), Department of Economics, Management and Quantitative Methods. He is also one of the founders of the Milano School of Management. His main research areas include management of IP and new organizational forms. Benassi's numerous publications have appeared in international leading journals. Miryam Martin-Sanchez is a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Milan (Italy). She obtained her Ph.D., focused on patent intermediaries, at the University of the Balearic Islands (Spain). Her research analyzes how patent litigation influences firms strategies. Martin-Sanchez has visited Santa Clara University (USA), among other leading institutions. 001451144 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on December 21, 2022). 001451144 650_0 $$aPatents. 001451144 650_0 $$aPatent laws and legislation. 001451144 650_0 $$aIntellectual property. 001451144 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001451144 7001_ $$aMartin-Sanchez, Miryam,$$eauthor. 001451144 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aBenassi, Mario$$tPatent Intermediaries$$dCham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2022$$z9783031103094 001451144 852__ $$bebk 001451144 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-10310-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001451144 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1451144$$pGLOBAL_SET 001451144 980__ $$aBIB 001451144 980__ $$aEBOOK 001451144 982__ $$aEbook 001451144 983__ $$aOnline 001451144 994__ $$a92$$bISE
