Standard-Setting Organisations’ IPR Policies
This book offers a unique insight into the world of standard-setting organizations (SSOs)’ IPR policies and the role they play in balancing the interests of innovators and implementers, vis-à-vis the development of standards. Since the beginning of the 21st century, there have been quite a few questions asked of the SSOs as to the legality of their IPR policies and the enforceability of disclosure and licensing obligations enshrined therein. That, coupled with disagreements over the appropriate royalty rate and royalty base, has resulted in extensive litigation between innovators and implementers, especially across the Atlantic. The Book, in keeping the USA and EU as the two primary juris...
Vaccine Law
"Vaccine law has been a subject of interest in the United States since the introduction of the process of vaccination for smallpox in the 1890s. Indeed, the first federal public health law ever enacted in the country was an 1813 measure to promote vaccination through providing a supply of vaccine matter. In the intervening decades, vaccine law has given rise to numerous statutory, regulatory, and common law structures revolving around the broad public policy interest in having a society that is, to the greatest extent possible, protected against infectious disease. The field of vaccine law therefore encompasses the regulatory environment for the development and licensure of vaccines; market ...
The Other American Colonies

Recognizing Wrongs
Two preeminent legal scholars explain what tort law is all about and why it matters, and describe their own view of tort’s philosophical basis: civil recourse theory. Tort law is badly misunderstood. In the popular imagination, it is “Robin Hood” law. Law professors, meanwhile, mostly dismiss it as an archaic, inefficient way to compensate victims and incentivize safety precautions. In Recognizing Wrongs, John Goldberg and Benjamin Zipursky explain the distinctive and important role that tort law plays in our legal system: it defines injurious wrongs and provides victims with the power to respond to those wrongs civilly. Tort law rests on a basic and powerful ideal: a person who has be...
