Realigning Law, Values, & Technology

The Engelberg Center on Innovation Law & Policyis an interdisciplinary center housed at NYU School of Law that focuses on legal and policy issues related to innovation, such as intellectual property law, information law, and competition law. It draws together legal scholars and practitioners, economists, historians, culturalists, social scientists, and representatives of the innovation industries to examine questions on allocating global resources to creative activities, to study the legal regimes and cultural forces that influence innovation, to explore methods for optimizing the exploitation of intellectual products, and to search for new ways to facilitate the transfer of technology from creator to end-user, across fields, and among nations.Learn more about the Engelberg Center
