ETH/NYU Transatlantic Innovation Scholarship Conference: Design Protection → Design Innovation?

The Engelberg Center co-hosted with ETH a conference examining how design innovation is influenced by design protection, including whether the nature of design protection differs among industries, whether the various forms of design protection actually provide incentives for firms or individual designers to create new designs, and how the US examination-based design patent system compares with the EU registration-based design protection regime, in terms of use, effectiveness, provision of incentives, and effect on competition.
