How should antitrust agencies best deal with IPR licensing in a standardization setting?
Today, we start an online discussion about antitrust issues relating to ICT standardization. Two introductory remarks, by Tim Simcoe and Anne Layne-Farrar, raise thought-provoking ideas and questions relating to licensing of IPR and possible antitrust concerns. See also, recently added Hahn and Haft on News From the Court Room: The Orange-Book-Standard as well as Wright on Intellectual Property, Standard Setting and the Limitations of Antitrust.
I invite comments on the following introductory remarks to the right. Please join the discussion!
With this said, I would like to open this forum for further debate and discussion.
