Professor Andres Sawicki’ s article, “The Law of Creativity?” was recently reviewed by David Fagundes, a professor of law at the University of Houston, in Jotwell: The Journal of Things We Like (Lots) as one of the best works of recent scholarship relating to Intellectual Property law. The forthcoming article will be published by Cornell Law Review. Fagundes writes that Sawicki’s article “is a compelling and readable effort…, one that invites us to rethink basic features of how creativity works and what that means about how law should engage with it.”
Sawicki teaches intellectual property law and is director of the Business of Innovation, Law, and Technology Concentration (BILT) at Miami Law. His primary research projects explore the extent to which IP can help solve problems in the production of inventions and expressive works. He is particularly interested in the complex psychology of creativity, and in the difficulty of coordinating multiple creative collaborators. Professor Sawicki’s research also examines the interaction among distinct patent doctrines. His work has been published by leading journals, including Cornell Law Review, William & Mary Law Review, and The University of Chicago Law Review, among others.
