Description
This course approaches special topics in intellectual property law from the vantage point of antiracist activism. Through engagement with case studies centered on racial justice issues in copyright, patent, trademark, and more, it brings experts into conversation with students to consider how antiracist intellectual property regimes might look in coming decades. Examples of Case studies include: abolitionist intellectual property, publishing equity, vaccine apartheid, and more
This course has been flagged as a distance education course. This means this class is one in which students are separated from the faculty member or each other (other than specially accommodated students) for more than one-third of the instruction and the instruction involves the use of technology to support regular and substantive interaction among students and between the students and the faculty member, either synchronously or asynchronously.
This course is held on a specific day, at a specific time, on Zoom or using some other remote technology. The class never meets in person.
