PIJIP Professor Christine Farley published a Forum essay, “How Design Law is Taking Shape in the United States and the European Union,” in the Florida Law Review. The essay explores the evolving landscape of design protection in the U.S. and EU, examining how trademark and copyright law are increasingly shaping design rights beyond traditional design regimes.

Professor Farley’s work focuses on intellectual property and design protection, with recent scholarship examining how design rights are evolving across jurisdictions. Her latest essay reflects her longstanding engagement with comparative design law and ongoing international developments, including the adoption of the Design Law Treaty in Riyadh in 2024.
