Abstract
On February 6, 2002, the Federal Trade Commission and Department of Justice commenced their hearings on the implications of antitrust and patent law on competition and innovation. The first day of hearings introduced the public to the broad structure and purpose of the hearings, then focused on some of the more general issues involving the intersection of intellectual property and antitrust policy.
