Event Information | February 23, 2007 | Moritz College of Law
For the first time in more than 50 years, Congress is considering major reforms to the patent system. Reform bills and proposals have come on the heels of much criticism from businesses (including many in the technology and software industries), from legal commentators and practitioners, and even from parts of the federal government itself (including the Federal Trade Commission's 2003 report, To Promote Innovation: The Proper Balance Between Competition and Patent Law and Policy). Is the patent system in need of major reforms? If so, what should those reforms entail? This symposium examines these questions and "The Future of Patent Reform" in the United States
