The Political Economy of Intellectual Property in the Emerging Alternative Energy Market
August 8th, 2009Carolina Rossini and Silas Bauer - The alternative energy field represents a unique case for studying the trends regarding political economy of intellectual property (IP) in an emerging market. Some of the technology can be considered mature; however many are the barriers - technical, political or related to funding - that justify a young market in many countries. It is these issues that are at the centre of our research under the Industrial Cooperation Project at the Berkman Centre at Harvard University. This research is part of a broader project being led by Prof. Yochai Benkler. In the research, we are seeking to understand the approaches to innovation in the alternative energy sector looking specifically at wind, solar and tidal/wave technologies. The intention is to map the degree to which open and commons-based practices are being used compared to proprietary approaches.
