Texas Wesleyan University School of Law is pleased to host
a symposium on the topic of Intellectual Property and
Indigenous Peoples, on Friday, October 10, 2008. The
purpose of this symposium is to examine intellectual
property concepts - copyrights, trademark rights, patent
rights, and trade secrets - as applied to the cultural
heritage, art, and artifact of indigenous peoples.

We are now accepting proposals for presentations and papers
on subjects related to the conjunction (or disjunction) of
intellectual property law and policy with the interests of
indigenous peoples. We anticipate the dialogue to represent
a variety of perspectives, and include both academics and
practitioners. Accepted papers will be published in Texas
Wesleyan Law Review.
