AUTHOR

Merrill, Stephen A., Myers, Mark B., Levin, Richard C.

SUMMARY

The U.S. patent system is in an accelerating race with human ingenuity and investments in innovation. In many respects the system has responded with admirable flexibility, but the strain of continual technological change and the greater importance ascribed to patents in a knowledge economy are exposing weaknesses including questionable patent quality, rising transaction costs, impediments to the dissemination of information through patents, and international inconsistencies. A panel including a mix of legal expertise, economists, technologists, and university and corporate officials recommends significant changes in the way the patent system operates.Merrill, Stephen A. is the author of 'Patent System For The 21st Century', published 2005 under ISBN 9780309089104 and ISBN 0309089107.
