Technologies for advanced mobile communications are key to our global innovation economy, and the patents that protect these technologies are critical drivers of innovation. Patents create incentives to invest in development, and these public legal documents make it possible for companies to contribute their technologies to the creation of the technological standards for advanced mobile communications, such as 5G. 

Policymakers around the globe recognize the importance of balance in patent policy. But there are differences in how different jurisdictions define this balance. Some policymakers have proposed extensive regulatory regimes and mandates, and others have taken a more cautious approach in adopting new regulations. 

To learn more about these policy developments, join Hudson for an event featuring prominent representatives from the United States Patent and Trademark Office, United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office, and the European Patent Office. The panelists will share their perspectives on the latest developments and policy considerations in this dynamic sector of the global innovation economy.
