Dr. Eden Sarid

Biography

Eden Sarid specializes in Intellectual Property Law. His research explores the regulatory, social, economic, and cultural conditions under which creative production succeeds or fails. Sarid's work is highly interdisciplinary, employing empirical, socio-legal, historical, and queer perspectives to create a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of complex legal issues. His current research project investigates creative economies that produce high volumes of creativity in the absence of intellectual property law, involving elite chefs, tattoo artists, and drag queens. Sarid's research has been featured in publications such as the Modern Law Review, Wisconsin Law Review, Yale Journal of Law and Humanities, and the American University Law Review, with his work cited by courts and academics, and included in submissions to Canada's Supreme Court and Israel's Supreme Court. He is also committed to social justice and public interest advocacy, participating in consultations with global policy-makers. Prior to entering academia, Sarid served as a senior law clerk at the Israeli Supreme Court and was associated with the intellectual property department of a leading law firm. He holds a SJD from the University of Toronto as a Vanier Canada Scholar, an LLM from the London School of Economics, and an LLB from the Hebrew University, graduating from the Honours Program for exceptional students.
