Valerio Sterzi

I am Full Professor of Economics at the Bordeaux School of Economics (BSE), University of Bordeaux, and Vice-Dean in charge of international relations for the Faculty of Economics and Management. I also serve on the board of the PhD School in Economics and Management at the University of Bordeaux and have been a board member of the European Policy for Intellectual Property (EPIP) association since 2022. Since 2025, I have served as President-Elect of EPIP.

My main research interests lie in the economics of innovation and patent economics, with a particular focus on patent litigation, licensing, and the role of intellectual property in fostering innovation. I currently serve as an Associate Editor of The Journal of Technology Transfer and have acted as a consultant on intellectual property issues for the OECD, the European Commission, USPTO, and IP2I.
