Seminar - The Tensions Between Free Markets
and Free Ideas: The View From Intellectual Property
By Shubha Ghosh
Crandall Melvin Professor of Law
Syracuse University College of Law
|
|
Synopsis
As societies liberalize their economies through a path to less regulated markets governed by rule of law principles, an inevitable question is the relationship between the marketplace for goods and service and marketplace for ideas. The connection between two marketplaces arises from the role of information and knowledge in exchange, whether of consumer products or of opinions, beliefs, and facts. Intellectual property illustrates the connections between marketplaces as for a exchange. This lecture explores these themes by examination of several recent legal controversies: (1) trademark and offensive speech; (2) copyright fair use; and (3) the relationship between competition law and intellectual property law.
