Intellectual Property Law Practice Group Podcast
Recent developments in US patent law, particularly the Americans Invents Act (AIA) and the Supreme Court’s jurisprudence on patent-eligible subject matter, have raised questions of whether, and to what extent, the Constitutional directive to promote technological innovation has been undermined or frustrated. The panel discussed whether the U.S. is shifting from a view of patents as private property, to one of public rights, and, if so, whether concepts from antitrust law will begin to color, if not dominate, patent enforcement jurisprudence. The practical implications of a public rights view of patents and the imposition of antitrust issues on the enforcement of patent rights were discussed as well.
