Professor Scott has a wide range of teaching and scholarly interests, but his focus is in intellectual property and on the intersection of the worlds of artistic and scientific expression and the law. He has given particular attention to the protection of cultural properties in both Europe and Asia, to domestic and international entertainment issues with an emphasis on music, and to the representation of the individual professional athlete. Professor Scott was honored by an appointment in 2007 to participate in the Silberman Seminar sponsored by the U.S. Holocaust Museum in 2007 where his expertise was used to consider issues in the spoliation of cultural property. He also received a Fulbright Scholar Award for the 2004-2005 academic year that supported scholarly activities in Japan. Pursuant to that award, he conducted research into the international protection of cultural and ethnographic properties in Asia, and was affiliated with the Doshisha University Faculty of Law in Kyoto.
