ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Robert Howell has taught in the Faculty of Law at the University of
Victoria, British Columbia, since 1980. He has taught property in the
f‌irst-year program since that time, but in 1985 he focused his research
and primarily taught intellectual property law and policy. The impact
of technological change led him to expand his specialization into tele-
communications law and policy, and to private international law, in-
itially its linkage with technology and intellectual property but, since
2003, across all dimensions of this subject. Professor Howell has also
done research on and taught courses in managing intellectual property
and he has presented summer term programs in intellectual property
law, including the International Intellectual Property Summer Program
from 2002 to 2007, alternating in venue between Victoria and Oxford.
Professor Howell has published nationally and internationally in his
areas of specialization and has organized and participated in national
and international conferences and seminars. In 1999 he co-authored
(with Linda Vincent and Michael Manson) a national coursebook —
IntellectualProperty Law, Cases and Materials; and in 1998 and 2002
he completed Reports on Database Protection and Canadian Laws for In-
dustry Canada and Canadian Heritage. In 2008, Professor Howell was
appointed for a f‌ive-year term on the Board of the British Columbia Law
Institute, the principal law reform entity in British Columbia.
