Leading scholar Alison Firth gave an entertaining IP Chat at the Queen Mary Intellectual Property Research Institute (QMIPRI) today. The IP Chats are a regular monthly feature of the QMIPRI programme, giving scholars and students a chance to sound off about their research topics, latest legal developments as well as the academic side of IP.
At today's chat, Alison raised the issue of the great divide between "misrepresentation" and "misappropriation" as the most popular theories that, many academics claim, govern the protection of statutory and non-statutory IP rights -- particularly those rights that don't appear to sit comfortably in any categorisation such as the moral rights recognised by copyright law. The discussion focused on, among other things, the viability of further categories beyond the "misrepresentation/misappropriation" divide: the category of "interference" was raised as one possibility.
Readers are invited to let the IPKat know what they think on this fascinating topic.

No comments:
All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.
It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
