The goal of the “Creators vs. Consumers” conference was to bring IP scholars into conversation with prominent figures from the bench, bar, industry, advocacy groups, and the media — all of whom grapple with IP issues in the course of their professional work.

In addition to a keynote address by Tim Wu of Columbia Law School, the conference consisted of four panel discussion sessions:

Revisiting Abusive Trademark Litigation in the Expressive Media Context

The Patent System in the Media Mirror

Copyright as Intellectual Property Privilege

F.I.T.: Fashion as Information Technology
