Project Outline

Completed Work

Works in Progress

  • An Issue Brief on Patent Trolls exploring their role in patent activity and litigation in America. Additionally, the paper expounds several hypotheses regarding the definition of a patent troll and the efficacy of reform legislation.
  • A Patent Thicket Literature Review seeking to formally define the term patent thicket by analyzing and condensing the seven proposed definitions.
  • A public Wiki Page on Innovation Policy providing information on patent institutions and current criticism of the American patent system as well as describes proposed patent reform legislation.

Future Work
