Patent Policy

The Technology and Innovation team’s work spans a wide range of topics from anti-trust to content moderation, telecommunications to intellectual property, as well as the rise of artificial intelligence and the value of permissionless innovation. At a time when misinformation and disinformation have become a growing concern, the Tech program has worked to define these terms, understand the challenges they create, and identify sensible policy reforms to help navigate this brave new world of information. Sign up for updates here.
