This semester, PIJIP Senior Policy Fellow Charles Duan hosted a series of online events on public interest patent policy work. In the events, practitioners at public-interest nonprofits discussed the big issues in patent policy conversations today, such as digital civil liberties, access to medicines, and antitrust. They also discussed career path options in this unique field.
