The paper develops a patent race model with a particular emphasis upon heterogeneity of competing R&D firms. It is demonstrated that R&D subsidies generate the cleansing effect where relatively lower productivity firms drop out of the race and innovation accelerates due to expanded R&D investment by the remaining firms as well as new entrants with higher productivity than exiting firms.
