Patent Institutions : Shifting Interactions Between Legal Actors Arti
نویسنده
چکیده
As demonstrated by multiple relevant contributions in Volumes I and II, the literature on patent institutions is voluminous. To keep the inquiry tractable, this contribution covers only research on actors responsible for the development and implementation of U.S. patent law. Moreover, because Part II of this Volume addresses in detail the empirical literature on several very important legal actors – most notably the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (“Federal Circuit”) and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) – I focus on interactions between legal actors. I consider both legalist and strategic perspectives on these interactions.
