旨在比较专利制度社会效益和事后奖励制度的经济学研究基于对专利的过时观点。他们认为，企业使用专利制度只是为了获得短期的商业垄断租金。这一假设很方便，因为它允许在专利和回报之间进行直接的比较，但这一假设并未得到实证研究的证实，这些研究强调，在许多行业，大多数公司将专利作为战略手段来交易技术和简化研发合作。这一变化导致了对专利奖励辩论框架的重新思考。
Economic studies that aim at comparing the patent system social efficiency versus an ex post reward system rest on an outdated view of patents. They assume that firms use the patent system only in order to be granted a short-term commercial monopoly rent. This assumption is convenient because it allows straightforward comparisons between patents and rewards but it is not confirmed by empirical studies, which stress that in many industries most firms use patents as strategic devices to trade technologies and to ease R&D collaborations. This change leads to rethinking the framework of the patent–reward debate.
