Expert in Genetic Information Sharing to Speak during IP Center's Distinguished Lecture Series October 25
10/21/2016
Professor Jerome Reichman of Duke University will discuss the free exchange of microbial genetic information and the hindrance of that exchange by intellectual property claims during the October 25 Distinguished Lecture Series at IU McKinney.
Professor Reichman is the Bunyan S. Womble Professor of Law at the Duke University School of Law. His talk is titled, “Governing Digitally Integrated Genetic Resources, Data, and Literature: Global Intellectual Property Strategies for a Redesigned Microbial Research Commons.” The practice of freely sharing microbial genetic information has been curtailed over the past quarter-century thanks to intellectual property claims from the developed world, Professor Reichman asserts in his research. He also considers the scientific community’s response to the restricted access to this kind of data.
The event will take place in the Inlow Hall Wynne Courtroom at 5 p.m. This free event carries with it 1.0 hour of CLE with a registration.
