Leah Chan Grinvald and Ofer Tur-Sinai on the Right to Repair

In this episode, Leah Chan Grinvald, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Professor of Law at Suffolk University Law School, and Ofer Tur-Sinai, Associate Professor of Law at Ono Academic College in Israel, discuss their article "Intellectual Property Law and the Right to Repair," which will be published in the Fordham Law Review. Grinvald and Tur-Sinai begin by explaining what the "right to repair" is and why it is currently endangered by the enforcement of intellectual property rights in light of new technology. They observe that many states are considering right to repair legislation, but it does not seem to be advancing. They argue that the right to repair is consistent with intellectual property policy, and offer a 4-category framework for thinking about implementation of the right to repair. And they reflect on why protecting the right to repair should promote innovation and benefit the public. Grinvald is on Twitter at @LCGrinvald.
