In Bloomberg BNA, Intellectual Property Litigators Examine Internet-of-Things as Next Patent Area for Disputes
Intellectual property litigation partners Steven Pepe, Kevin Post and associate Lance Shapiro (all of New York) authored a Jan. 11 article published in Bloomberg BNA’s Patent Trademark & Copyright Journal on the Internet-of-Things and standard-essential patents as the next patent area for disputes.
The authors contend that the technological diversity involved in the Internet-of-Things will create new competitors facing an unbalanced licensing environment, lead to more litigation, and complicate standards development and adoption.
