IP Osgoode

By Simon Fodden

Osgoode Hall Law School will officially announce today the launch of a new program in intellectual property law and technology, IP Osgoode, aimed at promoting interdisciplinary research and commentary in the field. The website features a student-run blog, IPilogue, and what will clearly be a growing body of resources for those interested in IP.

Professor Pina D?Agostino is the Director of the new program; she is joined by Osgoode Professors Carys Craig, Ikechi Mgbeoji, and IP Osgoode, Assistant Director, Rex Shoyama. An impressive Advisory Board has been assembled, which includes the Honourable Mr. Justice Marshall Rothstein, the Honourable Justice Roger T. Hughes, the Honourable Justice Karen M. Weiler, and a group of leading Canadian IP practitioners.

And as icing on the cake, Professor David Vaver, who has recently retired from Chair in Intellectual Property and Information Technology Law at Oxford, has agreed to return to Osgoode, where he taught for many years, to work on this venture.
