Ordinary Skill. Operating Company. Aaaand Flash of Genius.

They’re both psychopaths. The correct answer is “leave your stuff in the suitcase and just live out of it til it’s empty.”

Jennifer Granholm. Can’t remember my law school commencement speaker though. (Google says it was Brendan Sullivan, best known for… defending Oliver North??) Though I definitely remember that the printed commencement program cover said “Georgetown Univeristy”.

I’d say RIP Steve Albini, but stay angry is probably more his speed. This essay on copyright really got me thinking. And I like that he wasn’t afraid to change his mind. theguardian.com/music/2014/nov…

Judge officially rules “it is a very good dog, 14/10, dog wins.”

As judge-shopping becomes a topic of national concern, The Economist takes a look at its impact on patent litigation with help from Prof. Paul Gugliuzza (Paul R. Gugliuzza). econ.st/4aMXsNM

A new rule mandating finger-detection technology in table saws could raise costs by hundreds of dollars and result in a government-mandated monopoly. I introduced a bipartisan bill to protect consumer choice and block this mandate until the patents for this tech are made public.

Tejas N. Narechania, Tian Kisch ('22), and Delia Scoville ('22) analyze the effects of forum crowding. By looking at forum shopping for patent litigation, the authors reveal that other kinds of cases, such as criminal and civil rights cases, may get short shrift. californialawreview.org/print/forum-cr…

Given that the relevant test for whether the 7A jury trial right applies is the treatment of the case at the time of the Founding, this seems like exactly who you'd want to ask - a scholar in historical English law.

Happy to report that our study (w/ Christian Helmers) of SEP assertion by NPEs is forthcoming in Oxford Economic Papers. We compare opportunism across NPE & op-co cases & find NPEs more likely to leverage declaration process, market opaqueness, & supply chain: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

Yeah, no one would ever create without a monetary incentive… papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

In a newly revised paper now forthcoming in IRLE, Christian Helmers and I assess whether 4 of the most significant US patent system reforms of the last 20 years (eBay, PTAB, Alice, and TC Heartland) had a measurable impact on innovation: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

I'm not on Twitter much these days, but I had to come back to share this, because RESTORE really is that bad. patentprogress.org/2024/07/sen-co…

Great post by Joshua Landau on the dangers of the RESTORE Act.  Imagine the hold-up risk of any tech company trying to make goods in the US if their entire operation could be shut down in a dispute over a single component. Huge mischief-making opportunities for foreign rivals!

It’s bad when you give up a sack to a prevent defense, right?

It’s nice to see people taking the questions AI raises seriously instead of jumping to defend/detract. As I tell my students, copyright history is in many ways a history of the law in dialogue with the history of technology. AI is just the next iteration. nytimes.com/2024/09/27/mag…

This comment from Gavin Newsom on vetoing SB 1047, the AI "safety" bill, is absolutely spot on. I hope a diverse group of folks will now work together to help create less risky and more effective regulations.

Wonder if Joe Kiani is going to have anything to say about Masimo's apparent "theft" of Apple's IP? storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
