  text: <jats:p> Much work on innovation strategy assumes or theorizes that competition
    in innovation elicits duplication of research and that disclosure decreases such
    duplication. We validate this empirically using the American Inventors Protection
    Act (AIPA), three complementary identification strategies, and a new measure of
    blocked future patent applications. We show that AIPA—intended to reduce duplication,
    through default disclosure of patent applications 18 months after filing—reduced
    duplication in the U.S. and European patent systems. The blocking measure provides
    a clear and micro measure of technological competition that can be aggregated
    to facilitate the empirical investigation of innovation, firm strategy, and the
    positive and negative externalities of patenting. </jats:p><jats:p> This paper
