The Fellowship supports research by an individual who has finished graduate school (or is about to finish) and is writing on topics in the intersection between law, economics, and technology. The purpose of the fellowship is to foster research and interest in areas of Intellectual Property and Innovation, with emphasis on economics and empiricism as the disciplines of inquiry.
