Abstract/Index

In recent decades the international patent system has seen the creation and diffusion of a new phenomenon, patent trolls, entities that, without undertaking any productive or R&D activities make the acquisition and protection of patents their core business. This thesis aims at investigating on the nature of such entities and their specific business model, in order to understand, also with the support of evidence that has emerged from several empirical research works, if their action represents, as claimed by a part of the literature, an obstacle to innovation and a high cost for the community, or if, as believed by a second group, patent trolls actually facilitate technological progress and improve the efficiency of the intellectual property market.
