What are Potential Solutions to Mitigate the Impact of Patent Thickets?
To mitigate the impact of patent thickets in catalysis, several solutions can be considered:
Enhanced Patent Examination: Improving the rigor of patent examination processes to prevent the grant of overly broad or vague patents. Patent Landscape Analysis: Conducting comprehensive patent landscape analyses to identify existing patents and avoid infringement. Open Innovation Platforms: Encouraging the use of open innovation platforms where companies and researchers can share knowledge and resources.
