schestowitzWhile I suspect what you say is true, I've never quite got my head around the causes of the often strident response.Nov 21 03:36
schestowitzMy non-lawyer understanding of Alice, Mayo and Myriad is that it significantly increased the uncertainty around validity of patents. Are you saying that it's not clear if or why the Supreme Court was addressing innovation? And I presume you're arguing that there is a difference in thinking between the Court and the Government.Nov 21 03:36

schestowitzAs a matter of interesting, in my (ongoing) review of 200 trade secrets cases, I've so far seen only one (!) reference to innovation - from any actor. Nov 21 03:36

schestowitz"IP law is so complex that no government department or any one economist is going to be able to set out policy based on its analysis. The economists I have met use very basic and simple metrics to box IP into their mode of thinking. They really don't understand the dynamics of how it plays out in specific business situations, and their summaries of it are woefully inadequate. Giving someone an IP right affects the entire ecosystem, Nov 21 03:37
schestowitzincentivising, disincentivising, causing collaborative communities to form or leading to increased competitiveness, and even forms of aggression. To change things (to consider policy matters) would need the identifying of all the effects of IP, and then all possible changes you could make, e.g. length of term, ease/certainty of obtaining, ways/strength of enforcing, extent of penalties/punishments, effects on core industries/research Nov 21 03:37
schestowitzplatforms. I don't know of any economist that has appreciated IP to this extent, and so they are ill-equipped to advise on the issues."Nov 21 03:37

schestowitz"Nicola, I believe to really delve into the topic of IP and economics one must confront things which are going to really upset a lot of the IP community, especially in patents. If you tried to objectively ask how the 'commons' needs to be protected from IP rights you would get a stream of unprintable emotive comments from many in the IP and R&D community. Look at the response to the US Supreme Court decisions Alice, Mayo and Myriad where Nov 21 03:43
schestowitzno one has really tried to understand how the Supreme Court was trying to prevent monopolisation of the building blocks of innovation. Government certainly has no interest in thinking about protecting the commons."Nov 21 03:43
