Moore will share his views on art and intellectual property.
This program showcases the intersection of art law and intellectual property law. Register now to attend this timely forum where experts will discuss a range of issues and trends. The symposium brings together an inspiring group of individuals to present their works at the symposium on October 24, 2014, and publish their writings in the 2015 RIPL Symposium Issue.
