Where Economists Meet In The Nation's Capital
Thursday July 9
Dr. Robert Shapiro
Chair, ecoIDEA Institute
"Green Jobs and Patent Protection: The Clean Technologist Case for Consistent Policymaking"
The Obama Administration is pursuing with full speed an economic agenda to promote, fund and incentivize new clean energy technologies to create jobs, diversify our energy sources, and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Virtually all of the innovations currently in development, and those likely to come in the future, have been funded through markets that project returns based on established intellectual property rights. Will these IP rights enjoy similar privileges in the international marketplace? In the U.S., will the protracted debate on patent reform hinder clean technology innovation and job creation?
