The America Invents Act was enacted to update the Patent Act and enable the Patent Office to grapple with an increasing number of patent applications. Even with the reforms embodied in that law, commenters and practitioners have offered a series of differing analysis from economic, ethical or technological perspectives. At this conference, we will bring together some of the leading thinkers on patent policy and examine the arguments and metaphors about the future of patent policy. http://www.silicon-flatirons.org/events.php?id=1060 http://www.silicon-flatirons.org/events.php?id=1060 This seminar is open to all state regulators and commission staff who have an interest in network industries such as telecommunications and energy. http://www.silicon-flatirons.org/events.php?id=1052 http://www.silicon-flatirons.org/events.php?id=1052
