UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, GOULD SCHOOL OF LAW — In competition with more than 350 academic article nominations, USC Gould School of Law Professors Erik Hovenkamp and D. Daniel Sokol were winners earlier this year of the 2022 Concurrences Antitrust Writing Awards. The Antitrust Writing Awards aim to promote competition scholarship and competition advocacy. Hovenkamp’s article, “Antitrust limits on Patent Settlements: A New Approach” in the Journal of Industrial Economics, co-authored with Jorge Lemus of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, grapples with how to evaluate potentially anti-competitive patent settlements between competitors, a complex and ongoing issue.
