Don’t let this year’s symposium pass you by:
(c) Monopoly: Playing the Innovation Game
Wednesday-Friday, May 28-30, 2008
UMUC Inn and Conference Center
Adelphi, Maryland
http://www.umuc.edu/CIP2008/
Although the default rules in U.S. copyright law encourage exclusive ownership and create a limited monopoly, today’s technological and cultural landscape encourages sharing and collaboration. The result is a high-stakes conflict between copyright law and culture, a conflict at the heart of discussion at the symposium. Presented by the Centre for Intellectual Property (CIP) at the University of Maryland University College (UMUC).
James Boyle, professor of law, Duke University School of Law, and co-founder of the Center for the Study of the Public Domain, will address attendees as the keynote speaker, as will Georgia Harper, the CIP’s noted Intellectual Property Scholar (2006-08) and scholarly communications advisor at University of Texas at Austin Libraries.
