Patents
Edward Lazear is listed as a coinventor on 5 pending US patent applications. Some of these pending patent applications are considered to be tax patents. This has led to criticism of Lazear by organizations opposed to tax patents, such as Citizens for Tax Justice. Lazear, however, no longer has any ownership rights in these pending applications and cannot receive any royalties from them should they ever issue as valid patents. The full ownership rights to these applications are owned by Liquid Engines.
