Boyd School of Law.Her latest article, titled “The Territoriality Referendum,” is now available for download on the Social Science Research Network. The article is forthcoming in the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Journal. In the abstract, Professor Trimble writes, “Many Internet users have encountered geoblocking tools – tools that prevent users from accessing certain content on the Internet based on the location from which the users are connecting to the Internet. Because at least some users want to access such content, they turn to tools that enable them to evade geoblocking, to appear on the Internet as if they were located in another location, and to access the content that is available in this other location.”
In addition, a hardcopy publication of Professor Trimble’s article titled “The Marrakesh Puzzle” is forthcoming. The article, which analyzes the challenges of implementing the 2013 WIPO Marrakesh Treaty, was published online Sept. 26.
In her research, Professor Trimble focuses on intellectual property and issues at the intersection of intellectual property and private international law/conflict of laws.
