Abstract: Incorporating a durable-good monopoly model, this paper reexamines the argument on fee versus royalty licensing. It is shown that the non-producing patent holder prefers to license his cost-reducing innovation by means of royalty. However he is willing to license his horizontal product innovation by using fixed-fee contract. In the case of vertical product innovation, the patentee’s preference depends on both the time of licensing and the degree of quality improvement. JEL classification: D45; D42; L1
