摘要: Although previous empirical studies have found relationships between patent characteristics and value, none determined how specific attributes relate to auction value or even the probability of a successful sale. Using Heckman two-step model, we regress 13 independent variables against unique data, finding that publicly owned frequently referenced patents are more valuable, other things being equal, there is an optimal time offer up for auction.
