PFF’s 11th Annual Aspen Summit has now concluded. It produced rich ore, as shown by the stream of press releases that Patrick and Amy produced over the past few days, and by the number of stories mentioning the various events that appeared in the press.

Webcasts from Sunday & Monday are available at www.pff.org. Later seesions will be made available as we get them.

Once the August hiatus is over, we will mine the Aspen sessions for material to publish and otherwise exploit. In particular, we have had numerous requests for both Nathan Myhrvold’s discussion of invention and patents and Edgar Bronfman’s speech on the music business, and both the patent and copyright sessions exposed some veins that need exploration.

We already know two dimensions of IP that deserve attention at the 12th Aspen Summit, in August 2006: (1) The international scene, which is a growing preoccupation of everyone involved in this Digital Age space, whether their niche is tech, telecom, or content; (2) The similarities and differences between physical property and intellectual property, and the degree to which our experience with one has lessons for the other.

Until around Sept.8, however, blogging will be limited to whatever Patrick and Solveig feel like doing, because I am turning off my brain for two weeks.
