Desmarais Professor of Intellectual Property Law at New York University School of Law, discusses his open-source trademark casebook and open-source publishing in general. Beebe describes what open-source publishing is, the different open-source publishing options available to authors, and why legal scholars publishing casebooks should consider open-source options. He explains how open-source is better for both legal scholars and their students, and why it is and should be the future of legal publishing.
