What is SSRN Id4571486 about?

The document discusses patent thickets in the pharmaceutical and high-technology industries. It explains that pharmaceutical companies accumulate patents, including continuation patents, to block rivals from entering the market rather than for cross-licensing purposes like in high-tech. The paper provides empirical evidence that pharmaceutical firms, especially biologic manufacturers, use continuation and method-of-use patents at higher rates and in litigation to delay market entry of competitors.
