PROFESSOR DARYL LIM JOINS GROUP FOR VIRTUAL ROUNDTABLE
December 2022 — Professor Daryl Lim joined an interdisciplinary and international group of scholars, practitioners, and corporate counsel for The Classical Liberal Institute at NYU Law School’s “The Battle Over Patents Roundtable.” The virtual roundtable is based on a book with the same title written by Stephen Haber (The Hoover Institution at Stanford University) and Naomi Lamoreaux (Yale University), published by Oxford University Press. The book explains how patents help coordinate interests at different points in production chains contending over the economic surplus and explains why U.S.-style patent systems dominate other methods of encouraging innovation.
