Research on service patent licensing risk under asymmetric information

The existence of asymmetric information makes the process of the patent license become a game process among the participants. This article studies the moral risk which patentees will face when the licensed patent is service patent, puts the emphasis on the risking relations between the patentees and the inventors, designs an optimal incentive mechanism for the inventors using principal-agent theory, sets up a model, analyzes the impact imposed by risk attitude, inventor´s effort cost and other factors on the model, draws some conclusions that the patentees cannot hold the more conservative attitudes towards the risk, and so on.
