DESCRIPTION
To do so, it focuses on two industries where patent protection rules have changed drastically in the last few years: the pharmaceutical industry; and the digital products industry (CDs, software, etc.) beset by problems of piracy. A model is put forward which factors the dynamic aspects of dissemination, in which phenomena like reverse engineering and process re-engineering become time restrictions confronting the company that holds the patent.
