The Intellectual Property Group (Bechtold) at ETH Zurich is part of the Center for Law & Economics within the Department of Humanities, Social and Political Sciences at ETH Zurich. The group investigates the design of intellectual property law, law & technology (Internet law, privacy law, automated decision-making, legal tech), and antitrust law. It engages in empirical & experimental research and applies machine-learning & natural-language processing tools to intellectual property law and beyond. The group explores how to regulate the digital economy at scale where regulators face thousands of content providers and millions of consumers. The group co-organizes the Workshop & Lecture Series on the Law & Economics of Innovation, which regularly brings leading internationally well-known experts from all over the world to Zurich.
