Conference
on
"Multi-Agential Governance and
the Idea of Intellectual Property
Between Market and Other Social Values"
Hokkaido University
School of Law
Sapporo, Japan
August 27-28, 2010
Modern societies are governed by multilayer networks of rules and norms, which are not only set up by legislatures, courts or administrative agencies anymore. Many everyday activities become more often regulated by industry standards set up by private consortia, or by terms and conditions of standard contracts used by many private entities. Within this network of multi-agential governance, the borders of intellectual property rights are challenged every day by diverse stakeholders, whose arguments are based on an array of justifications, such as fairness, justice or efficiency. The questions thus arise whether there is any universal idea of intellectual property and what role the idea of intellectual property should play in intellectual property policy making or its application by legislatures, courts and administrative agencies.
