Much of copyright law as enacted in countries around the world
is based on the provisions of multinational agreements and other
international initiatives. One of the major objectives of this
course will be to understand the domestic law of copyright in
the international context. One focus of the course will be the
details of treaties and agreements, such as the Berne Convention
and other treaties overseen by the World Intellectual Property
Organization. The course will examine the complicated
relationship between national priorities and the objectives of
major international players, such as the World Trade
Organization. Also included will be some examination of
international litigation issues, and the growth of legal
protections closely related to copyright, such as database
rights and protection of folklore and traditional knowledge.
