Abstract
We study the effect of spillover on extent of licensing of a process innovation. With spillover, increasing the number of licenses makes non-licensees more efficient in addition to increasing competition among licensees. Despite these effects, a patentee of a significant innovation will sell more licenses when there is spillover.
