Abstract:By establishing the Biform game model and setting the confidence index of innovators, the paper discusses
how the moderating role of the confidence index affects the optimal quantity option of innovation licensing and the largest
anticipation value of innovators. The research shows that the anticipation value appropriation of innovators is piecewise
linear continuous function of the quantity choice of innovation licensing, which is moderated by the confidence index. With
confidence index rising, the optimal-preference quantity of innovation permitting innovation and the largest anticipation value
of innovators continue to rise. Finally, a specific example shows the correctness of main results of this paper.
