Andres Sawicki : Courses and Seminars
Advanced Topics in Intellectual Property
LAWS 95112
This seminar explores the relationship between intellectual property and other areas of law. IP is frequently treated as a specialized field within the law and within society at large. This seminar will show how IP has become increasingly integrated with other legal fields and social endeavors. We will explore copyright and speech regulation; the effect of civil procedure on substantive IP rules; patents, copyrights, and social norms as modes of producing and regulating access to creative and scientific works; IP and the theory of the firm; and IP as administrative law.
Grades will be based on short response papers and class participation.
