In this note, we try to evaluate how effective the patent system is in fostering innovation. We first develop the microeconomic reasoning underlying the legal protection of intellectual property. We then try to assess whether this legal protectio does indeed fulfil its mission. We show that due to the difficulty of measuring innovative output, it is hard to reach any conclusive answer. We can at the best provide a bundle of partial answer, which cast serious dooubts on the necessity to strengthen patent rights, but which provide no argument either for discarding the patent system altogether.
