The Mehrotra Institute is sponsoring the ninth annual Boston University Technology & Policy Research Initiative IP Day conference, which will highlight new research relating to intellectual property, the economics of innovation, technology commercialization, and litigation. IP Day panels focus on emerging research themes, from both a legal and economic perspective, with an emphasis on topics that are relevant to both business and policy. Previous sessions have examined patent prosecution, third-party litigation finance, standard essential patents, IP and antitrust, pharmaceutical patenting, and University technology transfer.
