Prof Beth Noveck speaks about the Peer to Patent project at the European Patent Conference

The European Patent Conference (EUPACO) is a forum that brings the diverse stakeholder and disciplinary perspectives to discuss about the future of the patent system and to test new ideas.

The EUPACO conference in Brussels on May 15 & 16 examined such challenges as:

• Measuring the benefits and costs of patents
• Diversity in innovation and the implications for a responsive patent system
• Assessing and managing risks of patent assertion and defense
• Integrating economic and legal approaches to patent policy
• Patent politics, the politics of integration, and the challenge of institutional transformation and design
• The multiple dimensions of patent quality: problems and solutions
• Innovation policy: patents, standards, public services, and public research
• Patent principles for an information society

Professor Beth Noveck presented the Peer to Patent project during May 15th's discussion on Quality.
