Innovation and the Information Environment
``` (This is an informal message from Keith Aoki about a symposium on law and technology that he is organizing in Oregon.)
Date: Sun, 1 Oct 1995 18:27:40 +8:00 From: KAOKI@law2.uoregon.edu
This upcoming symposium is entitled "Innovation and the Information Environment," and is scheduled for Friday, November 3 and Saturday, November 4, 1995 at the University of Oregon School of Law in Eugene, Oregon. This conference is jointly sponsored by the University of Oregon School of Law and the Program for Law and Entrepreneurship.
The conference's theme is, as the title suggests, an inquiry into how our rapidly changing information/technological environment interacts with traditional notions of entrepreneurship, innovation and investment. Legal issues concerning control, access and ownership of information have become increasingly important and controversial. This conference's goal is to gather together important figures from the governmental, business, legal and academic worlds to discuss and illuminate some of the thorny controversies occurring in the area of information law and policy. In the "information age" in general, and the electronic network environment in particular, many of our traditional legal ideas regarding public and private spheres, commercial and non-commercial activities and actors, publicity and privacy, propriety and property are deeply challenged. This conference aims to encourage and contribute to the growing dialogue about how our laws and policy choices intimately affect what shape the information environment takes and in what directions it will proceed. By focusing on the figure of the entrepreneur and the relationship between entrepreneurship and the electronic information environment, this conference will highlight how traditional legal ideas about privacy and property need to be re examined. First, traditional legal concepts of privacy grounded in protecting private individuals from unjustified governmental intrusion may inadequately address increasingly important concerns of businesses with regard to secrecy and confidentiality of data creation, storage and exchange. Secondly, such concepts may also insufficiently protect individuals and businesses from threats to informational privacy or proprietorship arising not from the state, but from other private market actors. Third, by focusing on the relation between entrepreneurship and property rights in information, the dual role of entrepreneurs as both information consumers and producers may be considered with regard to what levels of proprietary/privacy rights either impede or foster innovation and investment in information production, flow, use and exchange. We will publish the proceedings of this symposium in an upcoming issue of the Oregon Law Review If you have any questions, comments, suggestions please contact me at (503) 346-0506 (office); (503) 342-8454 (home) or at "kaoki@law.uoregon.edu" .
