The Innovation Policy Colloquium focuses each year on different aspects of the law’s role in promoting creativity and invention. This year, the colloquium will examine all of the intellectual property law you need to know but that is not usually covered in your other courses. In particular, we will study alternative forms of intellectual property, including trade secret law, the right of publicity, design protection, data protection, geographical indications, protection of traditional knowledge, and other alternatives or supplements to patent, copyright, and trademark laws, such as government grants.
Topic: Timeless Signs or Signs of the Times? Reconciling Innovation and Tradition for Geographical Indications
