  • Open Source Patent Pledges 2017

    International In-House Counsel Journal

    My article considers the use of patent promises or pledges, as a device to counter what are often seen in the Open Source world as undesirable consequences of the operation of the patent system. They have become particularly topical in 2017, as the world’s first billion dollar Open Source company, Red Hat, extended it’s patent pledge further in September 2017

  • Thoughts on Open Innovation

    OpenForum Academy

    Open Innovation is everywhere. However, the precise scope of Open Innovation, its impact on daily life, and the policy measures needed to sustain it are still a matter of intense discussion and debate. This book goes some way to addressing these challenges. It covers openness in software, data and access in an accessible way with essays penned by leading thinkers in each field. It forms part of OpenForum Academy's policy outreach and is presented by the Fellows from our think-tank.

  • E-business; The Practical Guide to the Laws, 1st and 2nd Edition

    2004, 2006

    "an engaging book...Amanda Brock's guide to the legal aspects of e-commerce is accessible to lawyers and lay people alike." "In tone and content it is refreshingly different from the rather too stolid commentary often provided in texts by legal practitioners in private practice an is equally unlike the exhaustive analytical product of many legal academics. It is a good read." Richard Susskind, The London Times 2004
