  • The Complex Patent Ecosystem and Its Implications for the Patent System
    Chien_62-HLJ-297 (Do Not Delete) 2/4/2011 2:27 PM From Arms Race to Marketplace: The Complex Patent Ecosystem and Its Implications for the Patent System Colleen V. Chien* For years, high-tech companies have amassed patents in order to deter patent litigation. Recently, a secondary market for patents has flourished, making it more likely that patents that would otherwise sit on the shelf will end up in the courtroom. This Article explores the current patent ecosystem, which includes both “arms race” and “marketplace” paradigms, in depth. I distinguish “patent-assertion entities,” entities that use patents primarily to obtain license fees rather than to support the development or transfer of technology, from other types of non-practicing entities. I contrast the patent arms race, whose goal is to provide entities with the freedom to operate, with the marketplace, through which entities have leveraged their freedom to litigate. I detail the participation of product companies as well as non-practicing companies and their intermediaries in the marketplace, and trace the diverse “pathways” traveled by patents from a diversity of sources including failed startups and product companies like Micron, to entities like Round Rock and Intellectual Ventures. Several implications follow. First, the failure of the patent arms race to deter lawsuits from patent assertion entities as well as practicing companies in certain cases means that defensive strategies must be reconceptualized to include new tactics—including prevention, disruption, and coordination—for securing freedom to operate. In addition, if stockpiles of unused patents patent continue to fall into the hands of patent-assertion entities, defensive patenting may ironically have the net effect of increasing, rather than decreasing, litigation risk.

  • Property Rights in Cyberspace Games and Other Novel Legal Issues in Virtual Property
    2006] 87 THE INDIAN JOURNAL OF LAW AND TECHNOLOGY Volume 2, 2006 PROPERTY RIGHTS IN CYBERSPACE GAMES AND OTHER NOVEL LEGAL ISSUES IN VIRTUAL PROPERTY Peter Brown* & Richard Raysman** ABSTRACT A major challenge faced by the law as it struggles to keep up with advances in technology is the surprising rate at which it canters along, throwing up new varieties of disputes, new types of transactions and even new types of property. This note examines the concept of virtual property and the problems that may arise from it in the specific context of cyberspace games, as well as the ways in which such problems have been dealt with by the law in the past and how they may be better dealt with in the future. It also discusses the existing debate over the need for legal regulation of virtual property and endeavours to see if the provisions of Indian law are sufficient to deal with cases such as these.
