Subotnik’s Paper Selected for NYU Annual Tri-State Region IP Workshop

Professor Eva Subotnik’s paper, Intent to Fair Use, was accepted for an Intellectual Property workshop to be held at NYU Law School in early January.  The Workshop brings together intellectual property law scholars from the tri-state region.  Approximately 5-10 papers are selected for presentation and feedback in advance of the spring 2014 law review submission cycle.  In her paper, Subotnik focuses on the degree to which recent fair use case law and scholarship that suggest that the evaluation of a challenged use of a copyrighted work be made principally from the perspective of a reasonable observer (rather than from the perspective of the defendant artist herself) advances the goals of copyright policy and provides predictability for those contemplating future uses of copyrighted works.  Information about the Workshop can be found here http://tristate.nyuengelberg.org/
