    Economic Research Working Paper No. 27

    Economic Research Working Paper No. 27 Breakthrough technologies – Semiconductor, innovation and intellectual property Thomas Hoeren Francesca Guadagno Sacha Wunsch-Vincent Economics & Statistics Series November 2015 Breakthrough Technologies – Semiconductors, Innovation and Intellectual Property Thomas Hoeren*, Francesca Guadagno**, Sacha Wunsch-Vincent** Abstract Semiconductor technology is at the origin of today’s digital economy. Its contribution to innova- tion, productivity and economic growth in the past four decades has been extensive. This paper analyzes how this breakthrough technology came about, how it diffused, and what role intellec- tual property (IP) played historically. The paper finds that the semiconductor innovation ecosys- tem evolved considerably over time, reflecting in particular the move from early-stage invention and first commercialization to mass production and diffusion. All phases relied heavily on con- tributions in fundamental science, linkages to public research and individual entrepreneurship. Government policy, in the form of demand-side and industrial policies were key. In terms of IP, patents were used intensively. However, they were often used as an effective means of sharing technology, rather than merely as a tool to block competitors. Antitrust policy helped spur key patent holders to set up liberal licensing policies. In contrast, and potentially as a cautionary tale for the future, the creation of new IP forms – the sui generis system to protect mask design - did not produce the desired outcome. Finally, copyright has gained in importance more re- cently.

    Volume 3 Number 185 the Battle for Color Television - II

    Volume 3 Number 185 The Battle for Color Television - II Lead: In the 1940s two corporate giants, NBC and CBS, fought over the means of broadcasting television in color. Tag: A Moment in Time with Dan Roberts. Content: After World War II, NBC under its chairman, David Sarnoff, had begun commercial black and white television broadcasts and was selling TVs by the truckload. Its great rival, William Paley’s CBS, was producing Black and White shows such as Ed Sullivan but at the same was experimenting with color television in hopes of getting a jump on the competition. The problem was the CBS color system used a spinning wheel with color filters in the camera and in the TV set and produced a signal which could not be received by existing black and white TVs without a relatively expensive converter. Sarnoff had too many sets out there to give up his advantage and began a campaign to smear the CBS system. NBC was working on an all-electronic color system, without the cumbersome spinning wheels, but which they thought would not be ready for years. By 1950 CBS was ready and had applied to the Federal Communications Commission to designate its system as the only standard. Both sides were at it now. Secret meetings with congressmen, lobbying, accusations in the media. Millions were at stake. Finally, the FCC approved CBS color in October 1950 and the courts struck down NBC’s court challenge. The problem was, not a single CBS color set had been sold, just a lot of useless black and white sets.

The inaugural IEEE Vision, Innovation, and Challenges Summit presents a unique opportunity to meet, mingle, and network with peers and some of the top technology “giants” in the world. We have created a dynamic one-day event to showcase the breadth of engineering by bringing innovators, visionaries, and leaders of technology to the Silicon Valley area to discuss what is imminent, to explore what is possible, and to discover what these emerging areas mean for tomorrow. The day sessions will look to the future of the industry and the impact engineers will have on serving the global community. The Summit’s activities culminate with this evening’s IEEE Honors Ceremony Gala. Tonight’s awards ceremony truly refl ects the universal nature of IEEE, as the visionaries and innovators we celebrate herald from around the world. We are proud of the collective technical prowess of our members and appreciate the rich diversity of the engineering, scientifi c, and technical branches in which our colleagues excel. At IEEE, we are focused on what is next—enabling innovation and the creation of new technologies.
