Speaker: Professor Abbe E. L. Brown
Intellectual property and information can have a significant impact on societal challenges; yet regimes created to address challenges (such as health, biodiversity and energy) engage with legal regimes relating to IP and information in a variety of ways – from undue deference to overly proactive intervention. This research forms part of a wider project exploring how to bring about an intertwined, holistic, plural and adaptable approach to formal regime creation. After exploring the problem and the arguments for such an approach, this paper will begin an exploration of how this might actually be done at a practical level.
