Abstract

The Little Guy Academic Paper will focus on the disproportionate patent litigation of small firms. The paper will also explore the disadvantages small firms may face in patent litigation. By using the patent data provided by the USPTO and Harvard Dataverse, micro and small entities will be identified based on maintenance fees paid to the USPTO. Patent portfolios of all firms contained in both datasets will be constructed. By making the distinction between micro, small, and large, comparisons will be draw between frequency and outcomes of litigation. Data on patent litigation will be acquired through the Lex Machina database.
