Please join us on November 13th, as SCU Law Visiting Research Fellow, Ben Roxborough, presents "Global IP Strategies – A U.S. and Australian Comparative Perspective". The event will be held in the Panelli Moot Court room, 5:00 – 6:00 p.m. Refreshments will be provided.

The lecture will address differences between U.S. and Australian IP laws and examine the following issues:

• Who is the global consumer?
• At what junctures in a product’s evolution is global IP strategy critical?
• Should ‘form always follow function; and how can IP rights assist product design?
• Strong versus long IP rights – which is more suitable and in what jurisdiction?
• Case-studies ranging from Nike Runners – IPod’s – Coca-Cola Bottles – through to the patentability of enantiomers in the pharmaceutical industry.
