On February 20, Professor Jeremy Sheff presented an excerpt of his forthcoming book project, “Valuing Progress,” at the 2016 Works in Progress in Intellectual Property (WIPIP) Colloquium at the University of Washington School of Law. The presentation, entitled “Progress for Future Persons,” considered the problem of setting innovation and creativity policy in a way that takes into account the interests of people who have not yet come into existence—and whose very existence may in fact be influenced by the policies we adopt today. Professor Sheff blogged about this presentation, and slides of the presentation are also available.
