False Hope and Fictitious Patents
This article evaluates the opioid epidemic through the lens of intellectual property law, focusing on OxyContin's trajectory from conception to market. Using interdisciplinary analysis and doctrinal legal examination, I theorise that the patent system relies on ‘industrialised hope’ in commodifying scientific outputs for overall societal benefit. OxyContin was one such output, though I contend it offered false hope. I show that OxyContin's key pa…
Exploring authorship and ownership of plays at the time of William Shakespeare’s First Folio
In this this article I evaluate how authorship of theatre occurred in the Elizabethan and Jacobean periods. I explore whether individual playwrights such as William Shakespeare were viewed as authors, and thus owners, of plays at this time. I analyse the role of the Stationers’ Company as print monopolists, and the role of Elizabethan theatre companies, who took ownership of scripts for performance purposes. I examine the impact of the publicatio…
Addressing Vaccine Inequity During the Covid-19 Pandemic
This article examines global vaccine inequity during the COVID-19 pandemic. We critique intellectual property (IP) law under the 1994 WTO TRIPS Agreement, and specifically, the role that IP has played in enabling the inequities of production, distribution and pricing in the COVID-19 vaccine context. Given the failure of international response mechanisms, including COVAX and C-TAP, to address vaccine inequity, we argue the TRIPS waiver proposal sh…
Exploring "ownership" of Irish traditional dance music
Dance has rarely been accepted as the subject of copyright protection because works of dance and choreography have lacked commodified property-object status in intellectual property law. If dance is "haunted by its own ephemerality" and, thus, rarely embodied as property, then what of dance music? Music composed, performed, and recorded with a dance audience in mind has formed, on many occasions, the subject matter of intellectual property law cl…
Protecting traditional music under copyright (and choosing not to enforce it)
‘(This book) has all the features that make it a must-read for every researcher, student and practitioner who works in the field of copyright and wants to understand the directions that copyright is taking from the perspective of its flexibility, absorbing capacity and DNA modifications—all features that are going to determine, but also to be influenced by, the subject-matters it will cover in the next decades.’ – Caterina Sganga, European Intell…
From Brand Performance to Consumer Performativity
Since the 2009 CJEU decision in L'Oréal v. Bellure , the idea that a brand's image is the property of the trade mark owner has become increasingly entrenched within European trade mark law. Brand image is now protected even where there is no harm to the underlying mark. However, the courts have largely failed to acknowledge the radical ways in which the marketplace for goods bearing trade marks has changed in the past three decades. One key shift…
Plays, Performances and Power Struggles – Examining Copyright's ‘Integrity’ in the Field of Theatre
This article explores the notion of ‘integrity’ under copyright law by analysing examples of 'integrity‐based objections' in the field of theatre. These objections typically involve playwrights objecting to changes being made to their copyright works by other parties, such as directors and actors. This analysis is deepened by the use of two concepts from the field of art theory – ‘aura’, as put forward by W alter B enjamin, and ‘trajectory’, as o…
