After Patent Republic
Hyo Yoon Kang
Date: Wednesday 22 October 2025 | Time: 3.00pm (London – BST)
What comes after ‘Patent Republic’? Patent law justifications are closely embedded in a particular model of government and rhetorically project its values. Building on Biagioli’s 2006 article on ‘Patent Republic’, the talk considers what kind of polity patent law will reflect, justify, and promote when republicanism and democracy are in retreat.
