Opening Remarks, Sean Flynn, American University, Washington College of Law
General questions:
What are the prospects for positive reform, on both process and substance, in various
forums for the making of international, regional and national intellectual property law? How
can we make intellectual property norm setting more participatory and accountable? How
can the substance of intellectual property norms be tailored to better protect and promote
the public interest? What positive reform efforts are underway now and what lessons do
they teach us about effective framing and the possibilities of scaling proposals vertically or
horizontally between policy making forums?
