In theory, this could be a consequence of growth in the commercialization of technology and innovation – patent lawsuits increase as more firms turn to intellectual property (IP) protection to safeguard their competitive advantages. However, the majority of recent patent litigation is driven by nonpracticing entities (NPEs), firms that generate no products, but instead amass patent portfolios for the sake of enforcing IP rights afforded therein. We discuss new, large-sample evidence adding to a growing literature suggesting that NPEs – in particular, large patent aggregators – on average act as “patent trolls”, suing cash‐rich firms seemingly irrespective of actual patent infringement. This has a negative impact on future innovation activity at targeted firms. These results suggest a need to check the power of NPEs through changes in U.S. IP policy, in particular to screen out trolling early in the litigation process.</span></span></strong></p></div> </article> <div class="shim30"></div> <div class="hr"></div> <div class="shim30"></div> <article> <div class="thumbnail" style="float:left; position: relative;"><img src="https://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Profile Files/160526_pbs_cohen_320 (1)_9114463f-7e6c-466e-a1b8-4fb989e678db.png" class="fluid" width="130px" style="margin-bottom: 18px; margin-right: 1em;" alt=""></div> <div class="title eta"><a href="http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/u-s-innovators-dogged-by-money-grubbing-patent-trolls/">U.S. Innovators Dogged by Money-grubbing ‘Patent Trolls’</a></div> <div class="shim12"></div> <div class="subtitle">PBS News Hour Interview</div> <div class="shim12"></div> <div class="abstract add-underline"><span>The U.S. economy is driven by innovation, but unwelcome “patent trolls” are gunking up the system.

Changes to the language and construction of financial reports also have strong implications for firms’ future returns: a portfolio that shorts “changers” and buys “non-changers” earns up to 188 basis points in monthly alphas (over 22% per year) in the future. Changes in language referring to the executive (CEO and CFO) team, regarding litigation, or in the risk factor section of the documents are especially informative for future returns. We show that changes to the 10-Ks predict future earnings, profitability, future news announcements, and even future firm-level bankruptcies. Unlike typical underreaction patterns in asset prices, we find no announcement effect associated with these changes—with returns only accruing when the information is later revealed through news, events, or earnings—suggesting that investors are inattentive to these simple changes across the universe of public firms.</p></div> </article> <div class="shim30"></div> <div class="hr"></div> <div class="shim30"></div> <article> <div class="thumbnail" style="float:left; position: relative;"><img src="https://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Profile Files/troll_fig1_ed2e0752-93c2-480e-ab69-085be6647e58.jpg" class="fluid" width="130px" style="margin-bottom: 18px; margin-right: 1em;" alt=""></div> <div class="title eta"><a href="http://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Publication%20Files/15-002_1d86bb91-630b-43b9-949d-16cfa36a5f58.pdf">Patent Trolls</a></div> <div class="shim12"></div> <div class="abstract add-underline"><p>We develop a theoretical model of, and provide the first large-sample evidence on, the behavior and impact of non-practicing entities (NPEs) in the intellectual property space. Our model shows that NPE litigation can reduce infringement and support small inventors. However, the model also shows that as NPEs become effective at bringing frivolous lawsuits, the resulting defense costs inefficiently crowd out some firms that, absent NPEs, would produce welfare-enhancing innovations without engaging in infringement. Our empirical analysis shows that on average, NPEs appear to behave as opportunistic patent trolls. NPEs sue cash-rich firms ― a one standard deviation increase in cash holdings roughly doubles a firm's chance of being targeted by NPE litigation. We find moreover that NPEs target cash unrelated to the alleged infringement at essentially the same frequency as they target cash related to the alleged infringement. By contrast, cash is neither a key driver of intellectual property lawsuits by practicing entities (e.g., IBM and Intel), nor of any other type of litigation against firms. We find further suggestive evidence of NPE opportunism, such as forum shopping and targeting of firms that may have reduced ability to defend themselves against litigation. We find that NPE litigation has a real negative impact on innovation at targeted firms: firms substantially reduce their innovative activity after settling with NPEs (or losing to them in court). Moreover, we neither find any markers of significant NPE pass-through to end innovators, nor of a positive impact of NPEs on innovation in the industries in which they are most prevalent.</p> <br /></div> </article> <div class="shim30"></div> <div class="hr"></div> <div class="shim30"></div> <article> <div class="thumbnail" style="float:left; position: relative;"><img src="https://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Profile Files/cohen_3ae485a4-f338-46ff-9543-c80a567c5509.jpg" class="fluid" width="130px" style="margin-bottom: 18px; margin-right: 1em;" alt=""></div> <div class="title eta"><a href="http://www.people.hbs.edu/lcohen/pdffiles/coh_lou.pdf">Complicated Firms</a></div> <div class="shim12"></div> <div class="abstract add-underline">We exploit a novel setting in which the same piece of information affects two sets of firms: one set of firms requires straightforward processing to update prices, while the other set requires more complicated analyses to incorporate the same piece of information into prices.

Specifically, a simple portfolio strategy that takes advantage of this straightforward vs. complicated information processing classification yields returns of 118 basis points per month. Consistent with processing complexity driving the return relation, we further show that the more complicated the firm, the more pronounced the return predictability.

This retrenchment follows both Senate and House committee chair changes, occurs in large and small firms and within large and small states, and is most pronounced among geographically-concentrated firms.

They may actually be penalizing companies that are making the biggest commitments to 'green' innovation. Using the number (and quality) of patents as a proxy, the paper concludes that 'the quantity and quality of green patenting is higher for energy firms' - even though 'those firms are precisely those to which capital is often restricted by mandates and campaigns'.

In theory, this could be a consequence of growth in the commercialization of technology and innovation – patent lawsuits increase as more firms turn to intellectual property (IP) protection to safeguard their competitive advantages. However, the majority of recent patent litigation is driven by nonpracticing entities (NPEs), firms that generate no products, but instead amass patent portfolios for the sake of enforcing IP rights afforded therein. We discuss new, large-sample evidence adding to a growing literature suggesting that NPEs – in particular, large patent aggregators – on average act as “patent trolls”, suing cash‐rich firms seemingly irrespective of actual patent infringement. This has a negative impact on future innovation activity at targeted firms. These results suggest a need to check the power of NPEs through changes in U.S. IP policy, in particular to screen out trolling early in the litigation process.</span></span></strong></p></div> </article> <div class="shim30"></div> <div class="hr"></div> <div class="shim30"></div> <article> <div class="thumbnail" style="float:left; position: relative;"><img src="https://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Profile Files/160526_pbs_cohen_320 (1)_9114463f-7e6c-466e-a1b8-4fb989e678db.png" class="fluid" width="130px" style="margin-bottom: 18px; margin-right: 1em;" alt=""></div> <div class="title eta"><a href="http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/u-s-innovators-dogged-by-money-grubbing-patent-trolls/">U.S. Innovators Dogged by Money-grubbing ‘Patent Trolls’</a></div> <div class="shim12"></div> <div class="subtitle">PBS News Hour Interview</div> <div class="shim12"></div> <div class="abstract add-underline"><span>The U.S. economy is driven by innovation, but unwelcome “patent trolls” are gunking up the system.

Changes to the language and construction of financial reports also have strong implications for firms’ future returns: a portfolio that shorts “changers” and buys “non-changers” earns up to 188 basis points in monthly alphas (over 22% per year) in the future. Changes in language referring to the executive (CEO and CFO) team, regarding litigation, or in the risk factor section of the documents are especially informative for future returns. We show that changes to the 10-Ks predict future earnings, profitability, future news announcements, and even future firm-level bankruptcies. Unlike typical underreaction patterns in asset prices, we find no announcement effect associated with these changes—with returns only accruing when the information is later revealed through news, events, or earnings—suggesting that investors are inattentive to these simple changes across the universe of public firms.</p></div> </article> <div class="shim30"></div> <div class="hr"></div> <div class="shim30"></div> <article> <div class="thumbnail" style="float:left; position: relative;"><img src="https://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Profile Files/troll_fig1_ed2e0752-93c2-480e-ab69-085be6647e58.jpg" class="fluid" width="130px" style="margin-bottom: 18px; margin-right: 1em;" alt=""></div> <div class="title eta"><a href="http://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Publication%20Files/15-002_1d86bb91-630b-43b9-949d-16cfa36a5f58.pdf">Patent Trolls</a></div> <div class="shim12"></div> <div class="abstract add-underline"><p>We develop a theoretical model of, and provide the first large-sample evidence on, the behavior and impact of non-practicing entities (NPEs) in the intellectual property space. Our model shows that NPE litigation can reduce infringement and support small inventors. However, the model also shows that as NPEs become effective at bringing frivolous lawsuits, the resulting defense costs inefficiently crowd out some firms that, absent NPEs, would produce welfare-enhancing innovations without engaging in infringement. Our empirical analysis shows that on average, NPEs appear to behave as opportunistic patent trolls. NPEs sue cash-rich firms ― a one standard deviation increase in cash holdings roughly doubles a firm's chance of being targeted by NPE litigation. We find moreover that NPEs target cash unrelated to the alleged infringement at essentially the same frequency as they target cash related to the alleged infringement. By contrast, cash is neither a key driver of intellectual property lawsuits by practicing entities (e.g., IBM and Intel), nor of any other type of litigation against firms. We find further suggestive evidence of NPE opportunism, such as forum shopping and targeting of firms that may have reduced ability to defend themselves against litigation. We find that NPE litigation has a real negative impact on innovation at targeted firms: firms substantially reduce their innovative activity after settling with NPEs (or losing to them in court). Moreover, we neither find any markers of significant NPE pass-through to end innovators, nor of a positive impact of NPEs on innovation in the industries in which they are most prevalent.</p> <br /></div> </article> <div class="shim30"></div> <div class="hr"></div> <div class="shim30"></div> <article> <div class="thumbnail" style="float:left; position: relative;"><img src="https://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Profile Files/cohen_3ae485a4-f338-46ff-9543-c80a567c5509.jpg" class="fluid" width="130px" style="margin-bottom: 18px; margin-right: 1em;" alt=""></div> <div class="title eta"><a href="http://www.people.hbs.edu/lcohen/pdffiles/coh_lou.pdf">Complicated Firms</a></div> <div class="shim12"></div> <div class="abstract add-underline">We exploit a novel setting in which the same piece of information affects two sets of firms: one set of firms requires straightforward processing to update prices, while the other set requires more complicated analyses to incorporate the same piece of information into prices.

Specifically, a simple portfolio strategy that takes advantage of this straightforward vs. complicated information processing classification yields returns of 118 basis points per month. Consistent with processing complexity driving the return relation, we further show that the more complicated the firm, the more pronounced the return predictability.

Our key innovation is to use changes in congressional committee chairmanship as a source of exogenous variation in state-level federal expenditures. In doing so, we show that fiscal spending shocks appear to significantly dampen corporate sector investment and employment activity. This retrenchment follows both Senate and House committee chair changes, occurs in large and small firms and within large and small states, and is most pronounced among geographically-concentrated firms. The effects are economically meaningful and the mechanism - entirely distinct from the more traditional interest rate and tax channels - suggests new considerations in assessing the impact of government spending on private sector economic activity.</div> </article> </div> </div> </dd> <dt><a href="#" class="black accordian-kappa">Journal Articles</a></dt> <dd> <ul class="unbulleted"> <li>Chen, Huaizhi, Lauren Cohen, and Weiling Liu. <A HREF="https://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w29790/w29790.pdf">"Calling All Issuers: The Market for Debt Monitoring."</A> <I>Management Science</I> (forthcoming). <a href="https://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Pages/item.aspx?num=66089">View Details</a><div class="shim20"></div> </li> <li>Cohen, Lauren, and Umit Gurun. <A HREF="https://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Pages/download.aspx?name=Buying the Verdict - MS published version.pdf">"Buying the Verdict."</A> <I>Management Science</I> 70, no. 7 (July 2024): 4167–4183. <a href="https://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Pages/item.aspx?num=66084">View Details</a><div class="shim20"></div> </li> <li>Chen, Huaizhi, Lauren Cohen, and Umit Gurun. <A HREF="https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3474557">"Don't Take Their Word for It: The Misclassification of Bond Mutual Funds."</A> <I>Journal of Finance</I> 76, no. 4 (August 2021): 1699–1730.
