Biography
John Liddicoat studies the development and use of new technology, focusing on the interplay of patent and pharmaceutical law to accelerate the creation of innovative technologies. His analysis of patents involves understanding the incentives, trade-offs, and social dimensions that exist in this complex field. Smart innovation policy, he argues, requires meticulous doctrinal research and supported empirical data. A lawyer with scientific training, John seeks to deliver impactful research using novel methods. He has received funding from multiple organizations and currently collaborates with colleagues from Cambridge, Harvard, and Copenhagen on a £5.5 million grant from the Novo Nordisk Foundation, investigating the intersection of intellectual property law, artificial intelligence, quantum technology, sustainability, pandemic preparedness, and anti-microbial resistance. In 2023, he completed a comprehensive report for the World Intellectual Property Organization on patents and trade secrets. John is particularly interested in PhD applications related to Translational Medicine, patentable subject matter, and AI in patent law.
