- Title
Ideology and Exceptionalism in Intellectual Property: An Empirical Study.
- Authors
Sag, Matthew; Jacobi, Tonja; Sytch, Maxim
- Abstract
The article presents a study which challenges the belief that intellectual property (IP) cases are immune from the influence of judicial ideology in the U.S. It examines the question whether the Supreme Court justices' views on abortion, racial profiling, and medical malpractice predict how they will vote in IP cases. It states that legal realists have shown that judges are strongly influenced by political ideology and their ideological positions are consistent across diverse issue areas.
