  4. 2. Artificial Earth : On the Genealogy of Planetary Technicity

    Author : Daniel Andersson; Jonas Anshelm; Johan Hedrén; Alf Hornborg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES;

    Abstract : As technology transforms the conditions by which we come understand and interact with the world around us, it is relevant to ask questions about the historicalontological aspects of these patterns of change. The widespread adoption of the term “Anthropocene” during the last twenty years indicates the wide acceptance of the view that human activities have become such a powerful driving force for global environmental change that our destructive legacy will be recorded in geological history.

    Abstract : For several decades now, safeguarding sensitive information from disclosure has been a key focus in computer science and information theory. Especially, in the past two decades, the subject of privacy has received significant attention due to the widespread collection and processing of data in various facets of society. READ MORE

  6. 4. The Battle to Define the Meaning of FRAND

    Author : Bo Heiden; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; standard essential patents; standards; patent holdup; FRAND; patent holdout; telecommunications;

    Abstract : This thesis explores the battle among actors in the telecommunication value chain to define the meaning of FRAND (Fair, Reasonable, and Non-Discriminatory), which forms the basis for the IPR policy and standard-essential patent (SEP) licensing agreements in most standard-setting organizations (SSOs). As a secondary goal, this thesis seeks to improve the theoretical understanding of the changing nature of value creation from an industrial to a knowledge-based economic paradigm, particularly in relation to the changing role of patents to facilitate openness and regulate access.
