5. Dr. Aashish SRIVASTAVA - Lecturer Australia - October, 24, 2012 - Electronic Signatures and E-commerce (International legal position and legal position in Australia and Romania) 6. Paul SUGDEN - Australia - October, 25, 2012 - on Intellectual Property (IP):
(a) are issues about protection of fashion and how does intellectual property help or hinder in this protection, (b) the use of remedies and their appropriateness as any litigation in IP is to obtain a remedy (no litigant takes court action unless they can obtain money or property in return.) (I dont get hung up on the commodification of IP as my view is you use it, you defend it, you sell it or licence it - otherwise its not doing you any good - IP is the way of the future and it is a commodity that is being used to support and expand capitalism. But if we dont do this IP has no value or use in society) (c) the last topic Im trying to develop is how do we use IP laws to build a community rather than to segregate a community. IP laws by their nature are exclusionary they make out a territory, that is to be defended. In the knowledge economy intellectual property laws and the fights between multinationals (Google and Apple Microsoft etc) is showing the importance of intellectual property to global

competitiveness. Yet how do we get a focus back from globalisation of corporations and finance to the consideration of IP laws to encourage the development of a community from the grass roots rather than just investment by global corporations who can them move when it no longer suites them from a financial perspective. The copyright topic practical examples for the class exercise and the whole topic fits into about 4 -6 hours of class time. (Im known by my students for my show and tell style of teaching - but as the new generation is a very visual generation - I think the visual helps to explain how judges think about these issues.) Comparative parts to Asian legal systems - The aim is to show students that the essential concepts of copyright are the same internationally and if you understand the essential structure of copyright then the Berne convention enables you to be protected in all countries of the union, and to have similar rights- (there are some small variations). So once you understand copyright the world is yours, (and the internet is making this more so). I rather like getting the students to think about the subject matter of copyright as a physical issue - as from my days in practice people came to me with the physical items to say or ask is it protected or is it an infringement.
