Fair Use Week: Fair Use and Universities - 25 years of publishers fighting over the use of excerpts for classroom teaching with Susan Kornfield, Esq.
Original research is fundamental for universities, but using copies of books, articles, and other creative works for teaching and learning is a vital educational tool. While most materials are purchased for use, fair use is a critical tool for making copies for the university community. Susan Kornfield, Esq. was involved with the case of Princeton University Press v. Michigan Document Services way back in 1996. The same dynamics are the same in a lawsuit by publishers against Georgia State University that has continued for over a decade.
Susan M. Kornfield chairs the intellectual property practice group at Bodman PLC. For 30 years she has handled transactional and litigation matters and was lead counsel in Princeton University Press v. Michigan Document Services. Susan has a unique perspective as an attorney involved in these issues and will bring you up to date.
