Biography
Professor Stacey Dogan is a leading scholar in intellectual property, competition, and technology law, who has been instrumental in building interdisciplinary and inter-institutional collaborations in the areas of law, technology, and entrepreneurship. Her scholarship has explored topics including the role of online intermediaries in trademark and copyright law, the right of publicity’s applicability to new media, the rights of trademark parodists, and the application of antitrust law to pharmaceutical “product-hopping.” She teaches first-year Property; upper-level courses including Trademark, Intellectual Property, Copyright, and a seminar called IP & the Internet; Law for Algorithms, an interdisciplinary course co-taught with colleagues in computer science to Law and Computer Science graduate students; and Insight & Invention, an interdisciplinary research course taught to sophomores in BU’s Kilachand Honors College. From 2018 to 2021, she served as the School of Law’s Associate Dean for Academic Affairs.
Professor Dogan has served as chair of the Intellectual Property Section of the Association of American Law Schools, and co-editor-in-chief of the Journal of the Copyright Society. At BU, she has played a central role in developing clinics, coursework, and interdisciplinary research partnerships in the area of law and technology. She was a founding member of the Oversight Board for the BU/MIT Technology Law Clinic and Startup Law Clinic, a first-of-its-kind program in which BU law students provide free legal advice to student-innovators at BU and MIT. She is a founding member of the faculty of BU’s new faculty of Computing and Data Sciences, serves on the steering committee of the Hariri Institute for Computing and Computational Science, and is a leader of BU’s Cyber Security, Law & Society Alliance, a partnership between the law school and BU’s Center for Reliable Information Systems & Cyber Security.
Before joining the BU faculty, Professor Dogan taught for more than a decade at Northeastern University School of Law, where she focused on intellectual property and antitrust law. She came to teaching after several years of practicing law with the Washington, DC law firm of Covington & Burling, where she specialized in antitrust, trademark, and copyright law. After law school, she practiced with Heller, Ehrman, White & McAuliffe in San Francisco and served as a law clerk to the Honorable Judith Rogers of the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.
