Setting the Table: A Taxonomy of Intellectual Property's Interactions with Other Legal Regimes and Disciplines

Description

Once a legal backwater, intellectual property and intellectual property (IP) law are now important to discussions about national and international public policy and in the construction of the legal order. Moreover, other legal disciplines have taken on questions related to promoting innovation and ensuring public access to crucial technological and cultural works. These disciplines have much to learn from the experience of the IP community. At the same time, the IP community must now consider the impact of these other regimes. Some of the other regimes have, in turn, been influenced by disciplines outside law, including economics, psychology, political science, and cultural studies. Thus, the IP community must also reckon with the indirect (and sometimes direct) effect of important developments that are entirely outside the legal realm. As this volume demonstrates, the integration of IP law into the legal order creates rich opportunities for cross-pollination. This chapter provides an overview of that analysis.
