The use of patents increases the likelihood of follow up investment by creating artificial scarcity. This has put pressure on universities to patent knowledge. In the US, there is a clear starting point: the Bayh-Dole Act of 1980.
This means that patents may limit knowledge spill-over.
Policies must be design to strike a balance between incentive to invest, and the diffusion of knowledge.
