Resumen

El objetivo del trabajo es presentar una revisión sistemática de la literatura reciente sobre política óptima de patentes ―entendida como la fijación simultánea de la duración y el alcance de las patentes de invención― en el marco de modelos matemáticos que representen el comportamiento de un sistema económico o un sector del mismo. La búsqueda, realizada en el repositorio Scopus, arrojó que durante el período considerado (2012-2022) sólo ocho artículos analizan tanto la duración como el alcance de las patentes en el marco de un modelo matemático, en ninguno de los cuales se analiza la duración y el alcance óptimos para patentes o innovaciones complementarias. Se encontró, además, que no existe consenso en la literatura sobre la conveniencia de implementar un sistema de patentes de duración infinita o alcance máximo.
