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?
