Vol. 87 sectors, inventors, the patent bar (divided separately into patent prosecutors and litigators), the Patent Office, and the courts.Given the political processes, the final result of any reform will depart from any theoretical blueprint we describe in this Article.As a consequence, a deeper understanding of this political process allows us to better understand the dynamics of reforms and the resultant characteristics of the patent system.In the end, as in any other institutional device, the characteristics and performance of the patent system, plus its sustainability or reforms over time, depend on the preferences of the polity, specifically on the preferences of the groups with a definite stake in the performance of the system.We also determine that the effects of the patent system on different technology and economic sectors will ultimately shape the different constituencies favoring or opposing the reform.We observe that support for any patent reform will depend on the specific factors that define the structure of each economic sector.Furthermore, in each sector, firms have different preferences depending on their economic power and particular stakes in the patent system.
