IP, Technology, & Social Justice in the Age of Coronavirus

When Professor Lateef Mtima and I first discussed collaborating on a social justice-themed IP conference in 2019, neither of us could have anticipated any of the events that have overtaken us this year.

The Conference will touch on many of the key themes that have gripped newspaper headlines, including disparities in access to health, civic engagement in the IP system, issues related to older Americans, Native Americans, and Americans with disabilities, and reconceptualizing the rightsholder/IP consumer symbiosis. Our Conference will be entirely online.

We hope that this will make it easier for many across the nation and around the world to join us in discussing these important issues.
