DESCRIPTION:9I���������'s Centre for Intellectual Property Policy presents Profe
 ssor Michal Shur-Ofry of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem – Faculty of L
 aw.  Abstract  “Contemporary IP theory concentrates on the cumulative and 
 incremental nature of innovation and creation. A prevalent image in this c
 ontext depicts authors and inventors as 'standing on the shoulders of gian
 ts'. This talk highlights an additional type of innovation that has been l
 argely overlooked in IP discourse: innovation that breaks up with conventi
 on\, disputes existing paradigms\, or in other words--'steps-off' the shou
 lders of giants. Drawing on multi-disciplinary literature\, from the histo
 ry and philosophy of science to studies of creativity\, it explores nonlin
 ear innovations across various cultural\, artistic and scientific domains.
  It then proceeds to examine whether intellectual property policy and doct
 rine\, particularly patent and copyright law\, can foster nonlinear innova
 tions and facilitate stepping-off giants' shoulders.”  This event is free 
 to the public\, but lawyers seeking accreditation for the Barreau du Québe
 c (1.5 hours) must bring a $30 cheque made out to '9I��������� - Fac
 ulty of Law' to receive credits.  For more information or to RSVP\, please
