Kirti Gupta of Cornerstone Research joined a panel to explore U.S. agencies’ growing role in guiding patent and innovation policy.
Panelists examined how developments in U.S. patent policy and antitrust enforcement are shaping the future of global technological leadership.
Topics included:
- How evolving regulations affect innovation in the technology sector
- The role of reliable patent rights in the global race for 6G and advanced artificial intelligence (AI)
- Trends in evidence-based approaches to policy
In her remarks, Dr. Gupta addressed several key shifts in the patent landscape, notably:
- How U.S. agencies use statements of interest in specific court cases to pivot from high-level policy statements to targeted judicial interventions
- The challenges of seeking injunctive relief in the U.S. following eBay Inc. v. MercExchange, LLC and the decision’s ongoing impact on patent litigation strategy
- The migration of high-stakes patent litigation from the U.S. to “injunction-friendly” venues, such as Germany, China, and the EU’s Unified Patent Court
- The increasingly scrutinized global environment for licensing critical digital infrastructure, such as 6G and video codecs
