The Instability of Intellectual Property

Uppsala, Sweden July 2-4, 2014

The conference is free of charge and supported by the Swedish Foundation for Humanities and Social Sciences (Riksbankens Jubileumsfond). The organizers will provide refreshments/lunch to all registered participants.

Hosted by the Department of Archival Science, Library & Information Science and Museology & Heritage Studies (ALM), Uppsala University in collaboration with the Faculty of Law, Uppsala University and Linköping University in Sweden.

By choosing the theme of The Instability of Intellectual Property for the 2014 ISHTIP workshop at Uppsala University we want to focus on the ways in which intellectual property moves and travels across disciplinary, legal, linguistic, and geopolitical borders.

Queen Mary Journal of Intellectual Property – Special ISHTIP 2014 Issue
Accepted presenters will be invited to submit their papers to a special issue of the Queen Mary Journal of Intellectual Property devoted entirely to the 2014 ISHTIP Workshop and the “Instability of Intellectual Property” theme. More information will follow during the spring.
