One type of firm that is particularly well positioned to drive this transition are original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), who design and produce capital goods. In this paper we propose that the OEM acts as an intellectual property (IP) licensor by selling spare parts designs, rather than physical spare parts. With these designs a buyer can print spare parts locally at much shorter lead times and at lower setup costs. We consider both an OEM who serves multiple identical buyers, and an OEM who serves two non-identical buyers. For both cases we characterize the optimal IP license contract. This determines which customers opt for the IP license channel and which remain in the traditional centralized sales channel, thus creating insights into the degree to which a supply chain decentralizes. We numerically show this to occur in a surprisingly large number of cases and we observe significant profit increases for OEMs who adopt this new business model. Our results thus show that IP licensing by OEMs can become a major enabler in the transition to digital networks with decentralized 3D printing.","PeriodicalId":237857,"journal":{"name":"IRPN: Innovation & Other Intellectual Property Law & Policy (Sub-Topic)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128739552","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The philosophical significance of the differences between these two areas of law thus remain almost entirely unexplored. Just one example of this tendency to theoretically unify copyrights and patents is Seana Shiffrin’s Lockean Arguments for Private Intellectual Property, which challenges Lockean theories of IP rights. But the present paper argues that Shiffrin’s challenge succeeds in the context of patents but not copyrights, due to significant differences between the two; and in so doing, it unearths and disentangles the philosophical implications of these distinctions between copyrights and patents – and, indeed, of distinctions within the “copyright” and “patent” bundles of rights themselves – including their numerous revisionary implications for existing law from the perspective of the Lockean framework. The article thus calls attention to intellectual property’s under-explored philosophical complexity, as well as the doctrinal and practical stakes of the questions it raises, so that we begin considering them far more carefully than they have yet been.","PeriodicalId":237857,"journal":{"name":"IRPN: Innovation & Other Intellectual Property Law & Policy (Sub-Topic)","volume":"141 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113998962","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Open Design 开放的设计

Margoni","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3196120","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3196120","url":null,"abstract":"Within the broader concept of the commons, Open Design (OD) refers to a specific model of development, manufacture and distribution of products of industrial design, applied art and other physical artefacts. A defining element of this model is the open and collaborative work-flow that characterises the production of the artefacts. Another defining element is the employment of licences – when necessary – that allow modification and further distribution of the products. Finally, the use of the Internet to share digital blueprints of computerized numerical control or CNC machines to manufacture the products is another recurring element. OD found a receptive ecosystem within the context of 3D printing, where designers share their blueprints in the form of CNC files which can be directly executed by a 3D printer in order to make the product. Examples of collections of files intended to be printed in 3D are becoming very popular on the Internet (see e.g. Thingiverse). But Open Design is not limited to the internet and the digital dimensions even though it has therein found a particularly prosperous terrain: creators of objects can share their plans in many other forms in order to allow anyone to manufacture their creations. Open Design has therefore thrived within so called FabLabs, i.e. workshops where the sharing of manufacturing machines, know-how and knowledge is combined with the free availability of blueprints and plans.","PeriodicalId":237857,"journal":{"name":"IRPN: Innovation & Other Intellectual Property Law & Policy (Sub-Topic)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124077732","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One policy lever traditionally applied to the creative sector is intellectual property, in particular the scope and term of protection offered by copyright. Increased copyright protection limits the size of the public domain by restricting access to and use of cultural expressions. Opposition to expansion and further enclosure of the cultural public domain was previously articulated in terms of access to a commons of information. Following the Hargreaves Review of Intellectual Property in 2011, copyright reform in the UK context has been increasingly framed in terms of economic policy objectives. This paper reviews two economic approaches which shape how researchers and policymakers discuss the public domain in debates about IP reform: an economic welfare approach which weighs increases in producer and consumer surplus under different policy configurations and an economics of innovation approach which considers the value of the public domain as a reservoir of ideas for innovators and firms. I argue that economic definitions of the public domain should be augmented by a consideration of the democratic requirements of freedom of expression and access to information. The consequences of this re-figuration of the public domain for the public interest and access to information are discussed.","PeriodicalId":237857,"journal":{"name":"IRPN: Innovation & Other Intellectual Property Law & Policy (Sub-Topic)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129668059","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The historical methods of IP valuation share a common drawback ─ the failure to critically evaluate the IP per se. The IP valuation approach set forth herein utilizes both a critical evaluation of the strength of the IP, as well as a market analysis of the key (or “target”) technology covered by the IP. The market analysis yields a value of the key technology. A critical evaluation of the IP is then carried out. For the critical evaluation, the IP (e.g., patent) is carefully reviewed to determine how well (or poorly) the IP covers the key technology, and how strong (or weak) is the underlying IP. The strength of the IP is evaluated by carrying out a detailed and exhaustive due diligence review of the IP and a freedom-to-operate (FTO) clearance review of the key technology. The asset strength approach for IP valuation is unique in that it includes an assessment of the strength/weakness of the underlying IP.","PeriodicalId":237857,"journal":{"name":"IRPN: Innovation & Other Intellectual Property Law & Policy (Sub-Topic)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115486982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
