11/08/2017
Professor Pamela Samuelson was the guest on November 7 for the Center for Intellectual Property Law and Innovation’s Distinguished Lecture Series. Her topic was “Exclusivity and Overlaps in Intellectual Property Regimes.” The event took place in the Wynne Courtroom at Inlow Hall.
Professor Samuelson is the Richard M. Sherman Distinguished Professor of Law and the Director of the Berkley Center for Law and Technology at the University of California Berkeley School of Law. Among other topics, she discussed the lawsuit between Oracle and Google, “in which an appellate court said that some aspects of software can be protected both by copyright and by patent law, although most authorities take the view (including me) that copyright and patent are mutually exclusive.”
