Intellectual Property Event at IU McKinney to Explore Copyright and Soccer
03/11/2016
The Center for Intellectual Property Law and Innovation at IU McKinney will consider the topic “Laws of the Game: Who Owns Soccer?” during the March 29 Distinguished Lecture Series event.
Professor Michael J. Madison, Faculty Director of the Innovation Practice Institute at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law, will present the lecture at 5 p.m. in the Wynne Courtroom at Inlow Hall.
“The lecture will blend two of my passions, copyright and soccer,” Professor Madison said. “In part, I will expand current explorations of creative cultural forms that thrive without much formal intellectual property coverage. Soccer is one of the largest and broadest cultural phenomena on the planet, but IP law touches it only here and there. In part, I will take a novel, 360-degree look at a sport that I have played, coached, and watched for almost 50 years and that is reaching ever-greater levels of popularity in the U.S.”
This event is free and open to the public. It carries with it 1.0 hour of continuing legal education credit with a registration.
