Description:

Intellectual property law is concerned with the legal regulation of mental products. It affects such diverse subjects as the visual and performing arts, new plant varieties, electronic databases, advertising, insulin producing bacteria, and video games. This course seeks to mix theoretical, historical, and policy approaches to the regulation of knowledge. Through approaching intellectual property as a regulatory system, it will examine the balancing of incentives to foster human creativity with the concern about unduly restricting its diffusion.
