"Patents: The Bleeding Edge of Technology Policy"
While patents have long been at the heart of American technology policy, information technology has profoundly challenged the U.S. patent system -- as seen in the intense inter-industry debate over patent reform in Congress. This panel will examine the politics of patent reform in the context of international controversy over patent policy, including a string of Supreme Court decisions, the battle over software and business method patents, and growing tensions between patents and IT standards.
New Haven, CT at the Omni Hotel

Copyright and Network Filtering
Organizations such as the RIAA have spurred Congress to pressure colleges and universities to adopt network filtering policies in order to address illegal P2P activities. Are such policies viable? What is Congress likely to do and what would such legislative action mean for IT in higher education?
