Join us for an engaging discussion about current trends in and future directions of patent -- and IP more broadly -- research. More information below and via link. No advance registration required. Email beverly.rich@eccles.utah.edu with questions. Hope to see you there!
Patents, and intellectual property (IP) more broadly, are not only measures of knowledge and innovation, but also institutional phenomena in their own right. Our aim in this PDW is to provoke a discussion of firms' strategic management of IP for cross-disciplinary community building. The panelists in this PDW draw from different backgrounds (e.g. law and business), use a variety of data sources, and employ diverse methodologies. We hope this diversity of observations and perspectives will foster a rich discussion. To achieve our goal, we will structure the conversation around several key topics. First, the PDW will explore how technological development and the rise of large multinational corporations (MNCs) has changed the optimal legal and institutional arrangements for IP portfolios. Second, the PDW will examine how policy coordination (or lack thereof), legal precedent, and regulatory changes across and within different IP regimes affects firms' IP strategies. In discussing these, we will also address foundational issues related to how firms value IP rights, especially in light of differences across and within jurisdictions.
