Engelberg Center on Innovation Law and Policy

Colloquium on Innovation Policy

Professors Rochelle Dreyfuss and Harry First

Schedule
Spring 2013

Topic: To examine the use of criminal law to sanction unauthorized use of knowledge products. Starting with questions about what property interests should be protected by the criminal law, we will go on to study longstanding information crimes, such as insider trading and wire fraud, and then study newer crimes, including trademark counterfeiting, copyright piracy (including downloading), economic espionage of trade secrets, and computer hacking. We will consider the impact of criminalization on innovation, employee mobility, access to medicines, and developing economies.
