Moderator: Michael Mireles, Associate Professor of Law, University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law This panel will examine the impact of human rights norms on substantive intellectual property law. The focus of the panel is whether intellectual property law is adequately flexible to provide access to knowledge, in the form of primary and secondary materials as well as scientific materials, access to medicines, and access to food, such as seeds. The panel will further explore whether any flexibilities incorporated into intellectual property law harm the incentives provided by that law, including an analysis of parallel importation
