Summary
"The best explanation for why some patents are used and others are not is simple: Some patents are intrinsically more valuable than others. Many patents are not worth enforcing--either because the inventions they cover turn out to be worthless, or because even if the invention has economic value the patent does not. This Article examines what makes a patent valuable and how to identify valuable patents. We start from the assumption that litigated patents are at least a subset of the most valuable patents, and we have no reason to believe that valuable patents that are not litigated differ in any systematic ways from valuable litigated patents." Id. at 436-37.
