Professor Deepak Hegde is an active academic researcher specializing in the intersection of finance, intellectual property, and innovation economics, presenting cutting-edge work on patent signaling mechanisms and their market implications.
His research investigates how strategic patent disclosure serves as a signaling tool to deter imitation and influence competitive dynamics, with particular focus on commercialization efficiency, rival learning speeds, and informational value extraction in financial markets. Key areas include patent policy impacts, stock market reactions to disclosure, and non-legal determinants of patent value.
Recent publications like "Patent Signaling" (2025) analyze how accelerated disclosures under the American Inventors’ Protection Act of 1999 enable firms to signal quality and deter entry, revealing that up to 50% of patent-linked stock returns stem from informational gains rather than legal protections.
