Technology licensing and grantbacks under hidden information Dutu, Richard and Benoit, Julien 2009, Technology licensing and grantbacks under hidden information, Journal of institutional and theoretical economics, vol. 165, no. 4, pp. 561-578. Title Technology licensing and grantbacks under hidden information Author(s) Dutu, Richard Benoit, Julien Journal name Journal of institutional and theoretical economics Volume number 165 Issue number 4 Start page 561 End page 578 Publisher Mohr Siebeck Place of publication Tübingen, Germany Publication date 2009-12 ISSN 0932-4569 Summary This paper explores technological transfer via licensing under hidden information. The transaction features a quality choice of technology to be transferred between a licensor and a licensee that has private information about its ability to implement and refine the technology. The model accounts for the possible damage that drastic refinements and reverse licensing can do to the licensor's market position, and makes predictions on the structure of licensing contracts. We show under what conditions a licensing contract will include a further contractual provision such as a grantback clause. Finally, the welfare implications of grantback inclusion are assessed.
