专利联合收割机既激励技术知识的生产（通过授予临时垄断），又激励知识的传播（通常通过许可证）。然而，我们对专利的实际使用情况知之甚少，无论是战略性地阻止竞争对手，还是促进技术贸易。几项发展表明，专利技术的使用在80年代末和90年代有所增长（Arora等人，2001年，Gambardella等人，2007).关于知识产权的公共讨论往往关注的范围很窄，有时仅仅是关于专利如何被使用（或滥用）的轶事。哈格里夫斯对英国知识产权的评论（2011年）1指出，我们对专利发布后会发生什么知之甚少。政府在对哈格里夫斯委员会报告的答复中也提到了这些关切。2
Patents combine incentives for the production of technological knowledge (by granting temporary monopolies) with incentives for diffusion of that knowledge (usually through licensing). However, we know little about how patents are actually used, either strategically to block competitors or to facilitate trade in technology. Several developments suggest that the use of technology vested in patents has grown through the late 80s and 90s (Arora et al., 2001, Gambardella et al., 2007).Public discourse on intellectual property often focuses very narrowly, sometimes primed only by anecdotal accounts of how patents are being used (or abused). The Hargreaves review (2011) of UK Intellectual Property 1 notes that we know relatively little about what happens to patents once they are issued. These concerns have also been noted in the Government’s response to the Hargreaves Committee report. 2
