Abstract

The article explores the interplay between formal intellectual property (IP) law and social norms in governing creative and innovative communities. It argues that while IP law is essential, it should not overshadow the significant role of norms, which often provide effective governance within specific communities. The author suggests that law should be mindful of diverse norms to promote social justice and innovation, recognizing that norms can both complement and conflict with formal legal frameworks.
