Michael Pegues, Intellectual Property Chair, explored and analyzed the intricate and multifaceted relationship between race and intellectual property law, policy, and principles to examine the historical, legal, social, and cultural dimensions of how race intersects with intellectual property.
The overarching purpose of this course was to foster a deep understanding of how racial dynamics have shaped and continue to influence the field of intellectual property law. Through this exploration, attorneys gained valuable insights into the complex interplay between race and intellectual property, promoting critical thinking, informed discussion, and the potential for reform within this vital legal and social context.
