What’s In a Name?

Perhaps it’s appropriate, in light of our trademarky posts, to float some trial balloons here about possible new name for the AALS Section on Intellectual Property Law. At last week’s annual meeting, the question was raised, “Should we change our section name?”

I am content with the current name. At the same time, on the plane ride back to Portland, a few alternative names occurred to me. Let me know what you think of them. And let me know of other ideas for section names, too. Comments are open!

a. Section on Creative & Inventive Works
b. Section on Creative & Inventive Progress
c. Section on Creative & Inventive Progress & Heritage
d. Section on Creative & Inventive Progress & Expression
