Origins of Patent User Rights
On June 26 and 27, Associate Dean Steven Wilf will be at the London School of Economics where he will speak at the International Society for the History and Theory of Intellectual Property on "Origins of Patent User Rights."
A scholar whose research focuses upon intellectual property law, historical jurisprudence, and legal history, Steven Wilf seeks to explore the fundamental ways that the origins of legal processes effect normative outcomes. Among his recent writings are The Law Before the Law (Rowman & Littlefield, 2008), "The Making of the Post-War Paradigm in American Intellectual Property Law," 31 Columbia Journal of Law & the Arts (2008), and "The Invention of Legal Primitivism," 10 Theoretical Inquiries in Law (2009). His most recent book, Law's Imagined Republic, was released by Cambridge University Press in May 2010.
Associate Dean Wilf was named a Lemelson Fellow at the Smithsonian Institution for 2011-2012. The Lemelson Center Fellows Program supports projects that present creative approaches to the study of invention and innovation in American society. The Jerome and Dorothy Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation was founded in 1995 at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History through a generous gift from the Lemelson Foundation.
