Symposium and Call for Papers - IP/Gender: Mapping the Connections - Washington DC

American University Washington College of Law’s Program on Information Justice and Intellectual Property announces its 7th Annual Symposium on IP/Gender: Mapping the Connections, to be held April 16, 2010.

Over the past seven years, the IP/Gender symposium has provided a forum to examine and discuss research on gendered dimensions of intellectual property law. Because issues of gender in intellectual property have been under-appreciated and remain under-theorized, much of this work has been exploratory and pioneering. Topics discussed in past years have ranged from the impact of intellectual property law and policy on gender-related imbalances in wealth, cultural access, political power, and social control; creative production and gender; the effects of stereotyping and of actual and rhetorical feminization and masculinization of participant roles upon intellectual property stakeholders; the gendered development of IP doctrines and doctrinal categories; related issues in the teaching and practicing of intellectual property; feminist jurisprudential insights about intellectual property law; and female fan cultures and intellectual property.

The Spring 2010 symposium will again offer an opportunity to present and critique innovative research, related to the special theme, that is either currently underway or now under contemplation. As in previous years, anticipate the program and the audience will be highly interdisciplinary, including historians, social scientists, legal academics, cultural scholars, and practicing lawyers bringing their disciplinary perspectives to bear on the theme. A limited number of spaces is available on the program.

The coordinators invite proposals for papers on gender issues relating to the production and use of inventions, broadly defined. Appropriate topics might include: gendered patterns in the history of invention or creation; gendered regulation of inventive activities; gendered models of individual and collective inventive activities; gendered aspects in licensing or assignment of technologies; and related subjects. Abstracts should be received by Monday, October 30, 2009. Papers will be selected for presentation and possible publication by November 15, 2009, and will be due by March 1, 2010.

Additional guidelines and links to the web forms for submission are available at the conference website.

Conference on Innovation and Communications Law - Louisville, KY

The University of Louisville will host the second annual Conference on Innovation and Communication Law on August 21 and 22, 2009. The Conference, a follow-up to the 2008 conference held in Turku, Finland, is a cooperative effort of the University of Louisville School of Law, University of Turku Faculty of Law, Michigan State University College of Law, Drake University Law School, and the IPR Center in Helsinki, Finland.

This year’s conference will focus mainly on the role intellectual property and communications law play in the dissemination of information. As a result, discussion will focus less on the creation of rights, and more on how the legal system helps (or hinders) the development of knowledge.

Conference on the 100th Anniversary of the 1909 Copyright Act - Santa Clara, CA

The High Tech Law Institute of Santa Clara University School of Law and the Berkeley Center for Law & Technology of UC Berkeley School of Law present a Conference on the 100th Anniversary of the 1909 Copyright Act on April 30, 2009.

The 1909 Copyright Act marked a revolution in U.S. copyright law. The 1909 Act was the first to protect works upon publication with notice, without prior registration; the first to expressly recognize a right to prepare derivative works; and the first to expressly recognize the public domain. The 1909 Act remained in effect for seven decades, during which time copyright law was repeatedly called upon to deal with the disruptive effect of new technologies, such as motion pictures, sound recordings, radio and television, photocopy machines, and computers. As a result, the 1909 Act had a significant influence on the copyright law we have today.

Join two dozen distinguished scholars and practitioners to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the 1909 Act and its profound effect on U.S. and international copyright law. Attendance is free and open to the public.

Symposium: The Boundaries of Intellectual Property - Williamsburg, VA

The William and Mary Law Review presents a symposium, The Boundaries of Intellectual Property, on February 6-7, 2009.  This symposium addresses the question of the proper goals of IP law and whether the scope of our current system aligns with those goals.

As the scope of intellectual property law continues to expand, courts and scholars are increasingly confronting the question of the law’s proper boundaries. Is it appropriate, for example, for content owners to use copyright law to silence unflattering speech? Are countries’ trademark laws, which have historically been geographically limited, now essentially global trademark laws given the use of marks over the Internet? Is it consistent with the goals of patent law for the U.S. government, through the Patent and Trademark Office, to define the boundaries of what is patentable based on moral or other non-innovation-related criteria? Although such questions have been the topic of debate in the past, there has not yet been an attempt to take a systemic, unifying approach to the question of boundaries in IP law. This symposium will provide the opportunity for participants to do just that, yielding new scholarship that directly addresses the question of the proper goals of IP law and whether the scope of our current system aligns with those goals.

Conference on Intellectual Property - New Rochelle, NY

The inaugural Conference on Intellectual Property (CIP) will be held on June 12-13th 2009 at Iona College in New Rochelle, NY, and will include a keynote addresses by Laura M. Quilter, M.L.S., J.D. and painter Joy Garnett.

Whether it be the submission of student papers to plagiarism-detecting websites, the marketing of a movie that chronicles the challenges of a windshield wiper inventor, or the latest debates over the application of nonobvious intention, issues involving intellectual property in the academic, economic, legal, and technological fields challenge the very notion of ownership: what we own, how we own, and who may claim ownership. The purpose of this conference is to explore intellectual property, in a cross-disciplinary context, as both a concept and a reality relating to the professional fields whose concerns intersect in understanding its essence and implications.We invite papers and panels dealing with any and all aspects of intellectual property, from the origins of eighteenth-century literary property debates to the viability and ethics of plagiarism and plagiarism detection, from the economic impact of patents to the technological advances that may make intellectual property obsolete. We especially encourage papers/panels that embrace a multidisciplinary or interdisciplinary approach.

CIP papers and/or abstracts will be included in a conference proceedings, and selected essays may be published in a proposed collection for a peer-reviewed press.

Papers/Panel abstracts should be submitted by February 5th, 2009 to Dr. Amy Stackhouse at astackhouse [at] iona.edu or Dr. Dean Defino at ddefino [at] iona.edu. We look forward to a fruitful and collegial experience.

Update (Feb. 16): The call for papers deadline has been extended to March 6, 2009.

Food, Culture, and the Law - essay collection, 2 conferences

We seek papers on food, culture, and the law, written from a variety of perspectives, appropriate for presentation at one or both of the following conferences: the Association for the Study of Law, Culture, and the Humanities (Suffolk University Law School, Boston, April 3-4, 2009) and the Association for the Study of Food and Society (details for the 2009 conference TBA on the ASFS website). Although we aim to use these panels as a partial foundation for creating the edited collection, we are also happy to consider abstracts and articles from potential contributors who are unable to attend either ASLCH or ASFS. Finished essays should be of a quality suitable for publication with an established university press and reasonably accessible to a multidisciplinary audience of scholars and students of the law, social sciences, and humanities, as well as interested readers outside the academy.

Indigenous Peoples’ Rights, IP, Self-Determination - Lancaster, UK

Lancaster University Law School presents Indigenous peoples’ rights in the aftermath of the Declaration: (Intellectual) Property and Self-Determination, Sept. 23, 2008.

Lancaster Human Rights Forum presents a one-day conference exploring indigenous peoples’ rights in the aftermath of the adoption in September 2007 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. This event will focus on two contested and complex aspects of indigenous rights: the right to self-determination, and intellectual property rights of indigenous peoples. Indigenous peoples’ right to self-determination was a fundamental area of debate in the negotiations leading up to the acceptance of the Declaration, and continues to generate considerable controversy. The intellectual property rights of indigenous peoples is an evolving area of human rights requiring consideration of the ownership of knowledge, informed consent and appropriate sharing of the economic benefits deriving from the commercialisation of traditional knowledge.This event will feature speakers from Brunel, Liverpool, and Leeds Universities, from the departments of Law, Geography and CESAGen at Lancaster, and from Minority Rights Group International.
