Greetings, colleagues.  With apologies for the additional e-mail  -- the subject line of my earlier e-mail said that our meeting was on "Thursday," for reasons known only to my fingers.  The session is on Friday.

Subject: L&E Colloquium for Thurs., Oct. 31: Robert Cooter

Our guest speaker this Friday at the Law & Economics Colloquium will be Robert Cooter of U.C. Berkeley Law School.  Prof. Cooter, for those who don't know, is one of the central figures of the L&E field, and we are fortunate to be able to bring him to you.  He's presenting "Progress in the Useful Arts: Foundations of Intellectual Property Law in Growth Theory," which comprises two chapters of his new book project on the Law & Economics of innovation.   The talk will be followed by dunking for apples.  Suggested costumes for the presentation include: 1. Trade secret; 2. Patent troll;  3. Cease & desist letter; 4. Fair use; 5. Infringing use.  Winners will receive a retroactive  18-year extension of their right to exclude others from use of the idea.

As usual, we will meet Friday at noon in Hotung 2001.  Prof. Cooter's paper is attached, and can also be downloaded from the faculty calendar.
