Look at All The Amazing Women IP Scholars!!!
Fantastic-looking Stanford Law Conference on March 11&12, 2006:
"Ten years ago, Duke Law Professor Jamie Boyle suggested that the
history of the environmental movement offered powerful theoretical
and practical lessons to those who sought to recognize the importance
of the public domain, and to expose the harms caused by a
relentlessly maximalist program of intellectual property expansion.
"On March 11-12, 2006, Stanford Law School's Center for Internet and
Society will host a symposium to explore the development and
expansion of the metaphor of "cultural environmentalism" over the
course of ten busy years for intellectual property law. We've invited
four scholars to present original papers on the topic, and a dozen
intellectual property experts to comment and expand on their works.
"Molly Van Houweling explores voluntary manipulation of intellectual
property rights as a tool for cultural environmentalism. Susan
Crawford extends Boyle's analysis to the age of networks. Rebecca
Tushnet looks at the ways in which the law's impulse to generalize
complicates the project of cultural environmentalism, and Madhavi
Sunder looks at how the metaphor affects traditional knowledge.
Professor Boyle will also offer some remarks, as will Stanford Law
School's Professor Lawrence Lessig.
"Comments on the papers by: Terry Fisher, Harvard Law School, Jack
Balkin, Yale Law School, Arti Rai, Duke Law School, Pam Samuelson, UC
Berkeley School of Law: Boalt Hall, Neil Netanel, UCLA Law School,
Julie Cohen, Georgetown University Law Center, Jesica Litman, Wayne
University, Mark Lemley, Stanford Law School, Peggy Radin, Stanford
Law School, Yochai Benkler, Yale Law School, Siva Vaidhyanathan, NYU
School of Law."
Lots of awesome IP talent, female and male, at this conference! Information about attending here. NB: I'm doubtful that Siva has joined the NYU *law school* faculty, but maybe I missed the memo?
Stanford rocks! Yale doesn't.
