Meeting codeWIPO/IP/SEM/GE/14
Date and venueDecember 3, 2014 (Geneva, Switzerland) Onsite
Topic(s)Intellectual Property-related Seminars, Workshops and Seminars
Over the past several decades, gender studies has influenced numerous areas of law, including criminal law, family law, human rights, employment law, tax, and business law. Only recently has research begun to investigate how gender insights that have helped shape modern legal doctrine in other areas can be applied to intellectual property.

On Wednesday December 3 at WIPO Headquarters, Professor Burk discussed the most recent empirical research on gender issues in intellectual property law, as well as potential ways forward to help ensure equitable systems of promoting innovation and creativity.
