Early Bird for Copyright Symposium Extended to May 9th

["Olga Francois" <OFrancois@xxxxxxxx>]

Don't let this year's symposium pass you by:

(c) Monopoly: Playing the Innovation Game
Wednesday-Friday, May 28-30, 2008
UMUC Inn and Conference Center
Adelphi, Maryland
http://www.umuc.edu/CIP2008/

Although the default rules in U.S. copyright law encourage exclusive
ownership and create a limited monopoly, today's technological and
cultural landscape encourages sharing and collaboration. The result is a
high-stakes conflict between copyright law and culture, a conflict at
the heart of discussion at the symposium. Presented by the Centre for
Intellectual Property (CIP) at the University of Maryland University
College (UMUC).

James Boyle, professor of law, Duke University School of Law, and
co-founder of the Center for the Study of the Public Domain, will
address attendees as the keynote speaker, as will Georgia Harper, the
CIP's noted Intellectual Property Scholar (2006-08) and scholarly
communications advisor at University of Texas at Austin Libraries. For
more speakers... http://www.umuc.edu/CIP2008/

New this Year: "The Institute for Copyright Leadership and Management"-
The Institute will help individuals or teams develop basic skills for
effective leadership in copyright management while focusing on
influencing skills and building strategic institutional partnerships and
bridges. For more... http://www.umuc.edu/cip/symposium/institute.shtml
