Risk Aversion And Rights Accretion In Intellectual Property Law, James Gibson
Risk Aversion And Rights Accretion In Intellectual Property Law, James Gibson
ExpressO
Intellectual property’s road to hell is paved with good intentions. Because liability is difficult to predict, intellectual property users often seek licenses even when proceeding without one might be permissible. Yet because the existence (vel non) of licensing markets plays a key role in determining the breadth of rights, these seemingly sensible licensing decisions eventually feed back into doctrine; the licensing itself becomes proof that the entitlement covers the use. Over time, then, public privilege recedes and rights expand, moving intellectual property’s ubiquitous gray areas into what used to be virgin territory--where risk aversion again creates licensing markets, which cause …

A New Economics Of Trademarks, David W. Barnes
A New Economics Of Trademarks, David W. Barnes
Northwestern Journal of Technology and Intellectual Property
Conventional wisdom holds that trademarks are nothing like other intellectual property.

This article challenges conventional wisdom by demonstrating that trademarks are a type of public good that contributes to the public stock of useful ideas just as patented and copyrighted works do. This economic perspective suggests, again contrary to conventional trademark theory, that competitive markets fail to …
