Conference on Intellectual Property

The goal 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. Whether it is the submission of student papers to plagiarism-detecting Web sites; 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, how and who may claim ownership.

Keynote Speakers Laura Quilter is an attorney and researcher in technology and information law and policy.

Painter Joy Garnett appropriates news and documentary photographs from newspapers, internet and other media, and re-invents them as paintings.
