Best practices demonstrate commercial durability and competitiveness. Commodification is driven not by best practices but by copyists who want to diminish the ability of a disruptor to change the status quo and threaten the incumbent’s legacy products and market power. Best practices tell the entire market, operating and non-operating alike, to step up their game and play by a threshold set of rules. Is it like securities dealers after World War II? When they ran amok, the NASD emerged to self-regulate and to avoid a patchwork of state and federal rules. Now the NASDAQ is an innovator and platform that has grown additional markets and industries.
This panel will share best practices to encourage innovation using intellectual property. We will ask which changes to the patent system might enhance performance and secure innovation for future generations.
