History and Future of Global Patent Policy
Manage episode 435038379 series 2440828
Thanks to The Innovation Alliance for sponsoring this episode. The Innovation Alliance is a coalition of research and development-based technology companies representing innovators, patent owners, and stakeholders who believe in the critical importance of maintaining a strong patent system that supports innovative enterprises of all sizes.
To discuss the domestic and international implications of patent policy, ChinaTalk interviewed Brian Pomper. Brian was the Chief International Trade Counsel to Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, and he is now a partner at Akin Gump.
We discuss:
- The history of America’s innovation hegemony, from the signing of the Constitution to patent trolls and Elon Musk
- Why big tech companies spent decades systematically attacking the foundations of the US patent system
- The thermonuclear patent war of Apple vs Samsung
- The evolution of Standard Essential Patents (SEPs) as a battleground for emerging tech competition
- Why China’s approach to patent litigation is causing controversy in Europe
- The intersection of patent policy and international trade agreements.
