From Industrial Policy to National Industrial Strategy: An Emerging Global Phenomenon
In February 2019, the German federal government announced its new “National Industry Strategy 2030.” Many economies—including the United Kingdom (2017), European Union (2017), and Saudi Arabia (2018)—have announced national industrial strategies addressing the competitive threat of the People’s Republic of China’s 2015 “Made in China 2025” 5-year economic plan to become a global leader in 10 advanced technology manufacturing sectors. The use of t…
Wearable devices and healthcare: Data sharing and privacy
Wearable devices introduce many new capabilities to the delivery of healthcare. But wearables also pose grave privacy risks. Furthermore, information overload gets in the way of informed consent by the patient. To better protect American patients in an increasingly digital world, the U.S. Congress passed the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). This article examines the adequacy of HIPAA vis-à-vis issues raised by …
Regulating Nanomaterials: A Case for Hybrid Governance
Despite their growing usage in commercial and industrial applications, nanomaterials have yet to be been thoroughly researched as to their potential health, safety, and environmental risk to human life after incorporation into new product improvement, development, design, and manufacturing processes. Identifying the appropriate governance framework for effective risk assessment analysis of toxicological risk to human beings—specifically manufactu…

Responsible innovation and patent assertion entities
The concept of "responsible innovation" extends the traditional definitions of "innovation" to consider the ethical, social, and environmental context within which the traditional innovation operates.From this definition, one can surmise that the controversial issue of "non-practicing entity" (NPE) behavior is deeply embedded in the ethical and legal context of the innovation process, and critically so in the technology commercialization phase.Th…
