Intellectual Property and the Red Planet: Formulating IP Policies towards the Successful Colonization of Mars

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Human colonization of the planet Mars is not a question of “if”
but rather of “when,” or “how soon?” The challenges ahead are
immense but so too are the perceived benefits. This article addresses
an aspect that, thus far, has been largely unexamined: the
interaction between intellectual property laws on Earth and the
mammoth Mars mission ahead. Specifically, this article discusses
how IP laws and their structure and use can assist humans in
reaching Mars and colonizing the Red Planet.
