    My PhD supervisor is a professor in "international intellectualproperty 
    law",

That is unfortunate, because merely by stating that description
of what he does, he gives support to our adversaries.
That term should never be used, and we should never stand by without
criticizing it when we hear it used.

I suggest in all seriousness that you ask him to change the way he
describes himself so as to avoid the term "intellectual property",
refer him to http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/not-ipr.html.
