As knowledge has become an increasingly important source of competitive advantage, intellectual property has become a significant factor in determining the competitive success, economic health, and future growth prospects of companies, industries, and nations. Given the growing importance of intellectual property, it is hardly surprising that there is increasing debate over a variety of issues relating to the creation, management, valuation, and enforcement of intellectual property and intellectual property rights.

This webcast will focus on economic analysis as a tool for providing unique and valuable insights into the problems, challenges, and controversies surrounding intellectual property. Among the questions to be addressed:

- What portion of the value of a complex product should be attributed to specific piece of technology that contributed to its creation?

- How can one best balance the interest of society in maintaining vibrant competition with its interest in creating strong incentives for the development of innovative new technologies and creative works?

- What is the appropriate compensation due a non-practicing patent owner whose patent has been infringed?

- How should one account for competition between alternative technologies in computing patent damages?
