Food for Thought: Professors Saunders and Flugge Consider Whether Intellectual Property Law Protects Recipes and Food Designs
Professor Kurt Saunders and Professor Valerie Flugge have published an article entitled “Food for Thought: Intellectual Property Protection for Recipes and Food Designs” in the Duke Law & Technology Review. As any chef will confirm, cooking and food preparation is a creative, sometimes innovative, endeavor. Much thought and time is invested in selecting ingredients, developing the process for preparing the dish, and designing an interesting or appealing look and feel for a food item. The article considers how various forms of intellectual property law have been applied to protect recipes and food designs, along with broader issues relating to how these rights may overlap and their implications for competition. The article can be found here: https://scholarship.law.duke.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1369&context=dltr
