In this episode, our host Mauricio Figueroa travels to Singapore to sit down with Professor Irene Calboli, founder of the IP & Innovation Researchers of Asia (IPIRA) Network. Their conversation ranges widely: from the evolving landscape of legal scholarship and practice across Asia, to the way IPIRA’s annual conference brings together a diversity of voices from around the world. They also explore a noticeable rise in academic submissions, including the growing presence of AI-assisted research, and the challenges this presents for the field. Irene also shared anecdotes of her career and how she teaches innovation law in a truly global legal ecosystem.
Dr Mauricio Figueroa is a Lecturer at Durham Law School, where he teaches and conducts research in intellectual property and technology law. He is the host of the SCL Podcast.
