Summary
How should IP be reformed to incorporate a negligence liability rule? This chapter considers the various implementation options. It argues that, rather than return to a nineteenth-century reliance on formal rules, IP law should change infringement doctrine to incorporate a reasonable person standard. It then applies this proposed regime to a range of contemporary problems in IP law (i.e. orphan works, independent invention, strategic behaviour, IP triangles).
