Fordham Law’s Center on Law and Information Policy has received a $35,000 grant from the World Intellectual Property Organization to conduct research on the acquisition and use of patents in the smartphone industry.

A team of attorneys and students will analyze data to provide insight on whether patents are fostering competition in the smartphone industry or hindering the ability of new companies to come into the market. The center will look at existing patents for hardware, operating systems and design aspects of smartphones, focusing on who patent holders are, how patent portfolios are being transferred and the use of licensing agreements, as well as canvassing patent litigation that is currently making its way through the courts.
