The Federal Trade Commission held its final two days of hearings in a series exploring the evolving market for intellectual property on May 4-5, 2009, in cooperation with BCLT. The hearings explored how markets for patents and technology operate in different industries, whether those markets operate efficiently, and how patent policy might be adjusted to better promote innovation and competition. The hearings were part of an ongoing series examining changes in patent law, patent-related business models, and new learning about the patent system since the October 2003 FTC report on promoting innovation.
