The Searle Center at Northwestern University School of Law will be holding a conference on this subject starting a week from today on Thursday, November 15th.  I’m very much looking forward to participating. I will be a discussant on a panel focusing on the contracts at issue in the Microsoft case, and responding (along with Michael Whinston and Scott Stern) to papers on this topic from Bill Page and John Lopatka.  I’m not quite sure yet whether I will have slides for my discussion but will post them here if I do. The conference line up, agenda, and papers are all available at the website.
