As the institutions of property and contract evolve in the digital era, there are many open questions. Should trademark owners be able to stop search engines from using their marks as search terms? Should boilerplate terms of service on interior pages of web sites be enforceable even if the user never clicks on the link that would reveal them? And more broadly, what is the appropriate scope of the public domain, the cultural commons
needed for creativity and innovation, and freedom of expression? The seminar takes up selected cutting-edge topics involving the ongoing evolution of contact and property in the intellectual property context.
Prerequisite: Students should have taken at least one introductory intellectual property course or have the equivalent background.
