I am a technology, intellectual property and business lawyer (now retired from practice) based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. With this blog I hope to broaden the discussions of issues that interest me. As a writer and photographer, I identify with the interests of authors and artists in IP-related issues. I have taught at the University of Toronto Faculty of Law as an adjunct professor for almost 25 years, a variety of technology and IP courses, and was for 6 years the Executive Director of its Centre for Innovation Law and Policy, and am a past chair of the Innovations Foundation of the University of Toronto. I am a Munk Senior Fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute. I can be reached at RCO@Richardcowens.com
