DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Description:=0D=0APatent licensing has become a subject of much debate and contention. Controversies include concerns about the licensing of patents that are essential to the use of technological standards (i.e., standard essential patents or SEPs); debate over the role of companies that monetize the value in patent portfolios solely through licensing; and the increasingly common practice of awarding royalties instead of injunctions since the Supreme Court’s decision in eBay v. MercExchange. Patent licensing is currently under scrutiny by the FTC, the U.S. Department of Justice, and even potentially in Congress, with legislation seeking to limit the ability of patent licensing companies to seek redress for infringement.This teleforum addresses questions concerning patent licensing, such as: Is there a patent licensing problem that requires a legislative, judicial, or regulatory response? What role has patent licensing played in the American system of innovation, both historically and today? Do business models based on patent licensing have a role in the system of dynamic innovation that patents are intended to promote?
