Janewa Osei-Tutu on Socially Responsible Corporate IP

In this episode, J. Janewa Osei-Tutu, Associate Professor of Law at Florida International University College of Law, discusses her article "Socially Responsible Corporate IP," which will be published in the Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment and Technology Law. Osei-Tutu begins by describing the concept of "corporate social responsibility" and how it relates to the shareholder theory of the corporation. She then explains how different intellectual property regimes can conflict with social welfare and create obligations for corporations, using examples from Canada, Australia, and Ghana. And she closes by reflecting on why and how corporations should take social responsibility into account when managing and using different forms of intellectual property. Osei-Tutu is on Twitter at @ResponsibleIP and her scholarship is available on SSRN. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
