Patents and National Power

Listen Later

What makes some countries more innovative than others? What role do intellectual property rights play in building national power? Does Elon Musk really give competitors free access to Tesla’s patents?

To find out, ChinaTalk interviewed Adam Mossoff, professor at the Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University.

We discuss…

  • How the patent system has shaped American society since independence,
  • The extent to which patent policy caused the great divergence between the West and China,
  • Whether Elon’s misunderstanding of patents will become the dominant attitude of the second Trump administration,
  • The Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) and other threats to the U.S. innovation ecosystem,
  • How to reconcile China’s IP theft with its robust domestic patent law,
  • What the U.S. can do to facilitate innovation while competing with China in emerging technology.


    • Outro Songs from the American Revolution:

    Liberty Song (Arthur F. Schrader rendition), and the Tory retort, Come Shake Your Dull Noodles (Arthur F. Schrader rendition)
