Professors of copyright law

Professors of copyright law are scholars and experts who study, teach, and research the legal rules that protect creators’ original works—such as books, music, movies, and software—from unauthorized use. They analyze how copyright rights are granted, enforced, and balanced with public access and innovation. Their work helps clarify complex legal principles, inform policy decisions, and guide creators and legal practitioners in understanding their rights and responsibilities. Essentially, they advance knowledge about how intellectual property laws function and evolve in society.
