[liberationtech] Using Intellectual Property to Advance Human Rights on 2/21

[Yosem Companys]

From: Lisa Li <lxl1 at stanford.edu>


*Using Intellectual Property to Advance Human Rights*

*Madhavi Sunder, UC Davis School of Law*

Madhavi Sunder calls for a richer understanding of intellectual property 
law’s effects on social and cultural life. Intellectual property law does 
more than incentivize the production of more goods - it fundamentally 
affects the ability of citizens to live a good life. Intellectual property 
law governs the abilities of human beings to make and share culture, and to 
profit from this enterprise in a global knowledge economy. Professor Sunder 
will also discuss her book, *From Goods to a Good Life: Intellectual 
Property and Global Justice*, which turns to social and cultural theory to 
more fully explore the deep connections between cultural production and 
human freedom.
