摘要

This paper investigates the optimal licensing contract of an insider licensor in a homogeneous-good market with a potential entrant. We find that fixed fee licensing is superior to royalty licensing if the entry cost incurred the potential entrant is not too high. It is because that that licensing by means of fixed fee has merit on extracting the licensing rent from entry deterrence. To deter the entry, conversely, the licensor if adopting royalty has to sacrifice part of the cost advantage against the incumbent licensee. In a general setting where the licensor can decide the number of licensee, this conclusion holds true as long as the entry cost is moderate.
