Description
Summary:What would prior informed consent look like if it demanded that scientists, researchers, and IRB officials take training and agree to the ethical frameworks of indigenous communities themselves? A conceptual understanding and theorizing of situated public domains engenders these more socially just ways of policymaking. [...] a conceptual analytic of situated public domains supports a social justice approach to patent law policy by enabling scholars to produce examinations of the public domain that are nuanced and that take into account complex gendered social relations, while enabling more flexible and responsive patent law policy.
