DESCRIPTION
This conference will bring together innovators, scholars, entrepreneurs, investors, policy shapers and others — each with a different perspective — to discuss the desired and real effects of intellectual property on innovation. What is the incentive effect of IP and how does it vary? When does IP encourage innovation? When does IP serve as an impediment or inhibitor? How do the answers vary depending on market, strategy or firm size? How do we “get it right” for the future innovation economy?
The conference will provide a forum for discussion of research across a range of disciplines and from diverse viewpoints and experiences in the innovation economy and generate specific questions, topics and opportunities for research and reform going forward, with a focus on sharpening an understanding and striving for the optimum IP/innovation connection. Susan Barbieri Montgomery, of counsel at Foley Hoag LLP and an executive professor of law and business at Northeastern University, is one of the conference organizers. There is no registration fee, but attendance is limited and advance registration is required.
