Research Roundtable on Technology Standards, Innovation and Market Coordination
Thursday, February 7-Friday, February 8, 2013
This conference was organized by Professor Daniel F. Spulber, Research Director of the Searle Center on Law, Regulation, and Economic Growthand Elinor Hobbs Distinguished Professor of International Business, Professor of Management Strategy, Kellogg School of Management, Professor of Law, Northwestern University School of Law (Courtesy).
The theme of the conference was on market-based approaches to standard setting. The conference will explore the economic benefits and costs of intellectual property (IP) protections in the context of standards. The conference focused on the positive economics of incentives for invention and incentives for innovation and commercialization rather than the more standard normative economics calling for regulation of technology transfer contracts.
