Intellectual Property Rights As Human Rights?
When:
—
Venue:
Birkbeck Clore Management Centre
Professor Toni Lester (Babson College, USA) (MM, JD, PhD) will be exploring the extent to which intellectual property rights, especially rights relating to the creative work of marginalized people and indigenous groups, should be considered human rights. Special attention will be paid to how this creative work is taken, appropriated, and rebranded without the permission or approval of its originators, and the legal, moral and ethical questions that arise in relation to that.
