Professor Victoria Phillips' paper 鈥淚ntellectual Property Clinics鈥擧elping to Empower All Creators鈥� will be presented at the Mosaic IP Law and Policy Roundtable Conference hosted by the University of Illinois Chicago Law on October 27^th and 28th. The conference connects IP scholars with political activists, practicing attorneys, community organizers, and policymakers to produce activist scholarship, to collaborate on various IP Empowerment policy initiatives and projects, and to otherwise help to shape and effectuate a progressive and contemporary IP socio-legal agenda.

This year鈥檚 theme is IP Rights and Wrongs: Advancing Social Justice and Ethics. The conference will analyze the ways 鈥淚P rights advance social justice and ethical practices but how when those rights are abused or infringed, they can also foster IP wrongs. As we encounter technologies like generative AI in our daily lives it is crucial that we evaluate how our IP laws can keep pace, to protect not only creators and innovators, but consumers and the public. What social justice impacts should we be interested in when considering businesses like data aggregators and miners, producers, and distributors in the global information age? How should we understand privacy issues in relation to IP? And should any ethical norms govern competition between corporations or impact scientific investigation and discovery?鈥�
