UCI IP ARTS &TECH CLINIC — Last year, in celebration of Fair Use Week, the IPAT clinic took a deep dive into fair use. We looked at every written judicial opinion that discussed fair use from the beginning of 2019 through February 2021, and made them available in a searchable, sortable databasewith abstracts and commentary and links to copies of every single case. We learned a lot, and the resources we made available were used by many scholars, students, and attorneys across the country. The fair use doctrine allows for use of copyrighted material without permission or payment for certain socially valuable purposes. It is one of the essential ways that the rights of copyright holders are balanced with the First Amendment right to free expression. Fair use is also an area of particular focus for the clinic’s mission. We help independent filmmakers, journalists, artists, and other creators use copyrighted materials in their projects to comment, critique, and educate in ways that would be impossible without the fair use doctrine. So naturally, we had great fun delving into the interesting fact patterns and analyses across the country.
