摘要

If all firms apply for patents under non-cooperative R&D, firms prefer cooperative R&D than non-cooperative R&D for moderate (high) probability of success in patent applications, if the cost of patenting is small (large).

Welfare is higher under cooperative R&D than under non-cooperative R&D if the firms apply for patents under non-cooperative R&D.

The dominance of cooperative R&D over non-cooperative R&D remains even under entry of a non-innovating firm in the absence of patenting.

Cooperative R&D can be preferred compared to non-cooperative R&D even if the probability is endogenous.
