The (curiously unhelpful) proposed update of the Antitrust Guidelines for the Licensing of Intellectual Property

Fordham IPLJ, Video here (bootleg quality, sadly).

Antitrust Guidelines for the Licensing of Intellectual Property: Proposed Update, here. 

Missing: SEP, FRAND, pay-for-delay (Actavis), etc.

Overall impression: update  in the current form curiously non informative, better read speeches given by agency officials, apply for business review letters, etc., or get in touch (say agency officials themselves ;-)). Possibly, fear of being too influential abroad?

Lemley on what drives competition in the IT space

“Apple presented the intellectual property view of innovation — we created it, we own it, you can’t use it. Samsung presented the competition view of innovation — everyone should make great products and let consumers choose. IP law generally sides with Apple at this broad level, though there is a pretty good argument that it is competition, not monopoly, that drives great innovation in the IT space”, from Competing Views of Competition in Apple-Samsung Trial, Allthingsd.com, here.
