Category: IP and Innovation Law

SCuLE research in intellectual property is focused on both copyright and patent law. Our copyright scholars explore questions such as broader access to culturally important works, performers rights and digital copyright and 3D printing. In patent law, we investigate the European patent system, and conduct socio-legal work into the impact of patents on innovative medical fields.
