DIME Conference
Yesterday the IPKat dropped into the DIME Intellectual Property Rights for Business and Society Conference at Birkbeck, London. Highlights included:
* Martin Kretschmer (CIPPM, Bournemouth) on empirical research on the extent to which copyright royalties provide (or rather, don’t provide) authors with a livelihood
*Anna Dempsey (Birkbeck) on how information contained in patents can be used by companies to provide information (e.g. future product launches) to the market
*Jonathan D Kahn (Hamline) on how specifying the application of drugs to a specific race in patent claims has been used to effectively extend the terms of those patents within a specific market
*Graham Dutfield and Uma Suthersanen’s (Queen Mary) ambitious and ongoing attempt to map creativity
*Johanna Gibson’s (Queen Mary) account of how patents for single uses in the field of genetics can unwittingly lead to patents for all uses
Help wanted!
IPKat co-blogmeister Ilanah dreams of building up a teaching resource for undergraduate and post-graduate IP students, consisting of samples of items which were the subject of successful or unsuccessful IP litigation. The idea would be to show these objects to students to bring the cases to life. Can anybody help her by providing such objects? If so, please email here.

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.
