About the Contributors
Authors
Daniel Francis is an Associate Professor of Law at NYU. He writes and teaches about regulation and competition: particularly monopolization, mergers, and the theoretical foundations of antitrust. His work has appeared in the Yale Law Journal, the Columbia Law Review, the Duke Law Journal, the Antitrust Law Journal, and the Journal of Economic Perspectives. He is the co-author, with Chris Sprigman, of Antitrust: Principles, Cases, and Materials (3d ed. 2025). In 2025, he won the Jerry S. Cohen Award for Antitrust Scholarship for his article "Monopolizing by Conditioning." Francis has testified on multiple occasions in the U.S. Senate regarding antitrust policy and has been appointed to the roster of the Fulbright Specialist Program by the U.S. State Department.
Christopher Jon Sprigman came to NYU School of Law in 2013 from the University of Virginia School of Law. Sprigman teaches intellectual property law, antitrust law, torts, and comparative constitutional law. His research focuses on how legal rules affect innovation and the deployment of new technologies. Sprigman’s widely cited works have had an influence on important aspects of copyright and trademark law, and often belie the conventional wisdom about intellectual property rights. He was an appellate counsel from 1999 to 2001 in the Antitrust Division of the US Department of Justice, where US v. Microsoft was among his cases, and later was elected partner in the Washington, DC, office of King & Spalding before becoming a residential fellow at Stanford Law School’s Center for Internet and Society. Sprigman received a JD with honors from the University of Chicago Law School in 1993. He subsequently clerked for Judge Stephen Reinhardt of the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and Justice Lourens H. W. Ackermann of the Constitutional Court of South Africa. In 2015, the American Law Institute named him Reporter for the Restatement of Copyright.
