THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN LAW SCHOOL — Lawyers, academics and farmers gathered Wednesday at the Montana State University campus to discuss a hot button issue: a consumer’s right to repair the products they own, and why that carries significant implications for the economy and environment. The event focused on the intersection between intellectual property rights and agriculture. Previously held at University of Montana, this year marked the first time MSU hosted the event, because of the area’s large agricultural presence. Aaron Perzanowski, the keynote speaker and a law professor at the University of Michigan who published a book on the right to repair this year, started his talk with a simple question.
