Dr Siva Thambisetty will be amongst the speakers at an event on 9 February 2024, commemorating the life and work of Professor Dan Burk, a leading scholar in the field of intellectual property. The event is being hosted by UCI Irvine School of Law and will be live-streamed - full details here. There is also a memorial page.
"Prof Burk was always kind, always encouraging and a wonderful mentor. His large body of scholarly work gives students without a science background an imaginative entry point into learning about the legal protection of technologies. It has allowed generations of students and academics to approach these topics fearlessly. He will be greatly missed."
-- Dr Siva Thambisetty
Professor Burk gave a series of three lectures funded by Leverhulme at the LSE in 2015:
The gene patent controversy
The software patent puzzle
Patenting information technologies
