Question
15. Consider two competing firms, JR and OG. Suppose OG produces an estab-
lished product and JR can either produce a clone or a differentiated product.
If JR produces a clone, OG can either sue JR or not sue it. If JR produces a
differentiated product rather than a clone, OG can either buy JR or not buy
it. The two firms are in a non-cooperative game whose extensive form is rep-
resented in the tree diagram below, where the payoffs on the right represent
profits.

If the two firms' managers are rational and recognize each other as rational,
then
