I am disgusted by this smear of Pamela Samuelson (I reluctantly link to it, so feel free not to read) j.mp/2Xg2L3y Pam is one of the greatest thinkers on copyright law of our time--& all time 🐐🐐🐐 So many of us owe so much to her for her tireless & brilliant work
Our research on the effect of defensive patent lit insurance (with Christian Helmers & Bernhard Ganglmair) appears in this Bloomberg Law piece on growing interest in IP insurance: news.bloomberglaw.com/ip-law/ip-insu…
In a new working paper, Christian Helmers and I match PTAB challenges to parallel patent litigation (at the patent-party level) & analyze the effect of PTAB petitions, institution decisions, and final written decisions on settlement in court. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…
New working paper w/ Christian Helmers & Yassine Lefouili. We identify US SEP cases filed 2010-19 & search dockets for evidence of 11 opportunistic behaviors. We analyze determinants of these behaviors & their effect on settlement. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…
Our study (w/ Christian Helmers, Yassine Lefouili & @DrLukeMcDonagh) of UK court reform capping atty fee awards in IPEC cases is now available in ALER: academic.oup.com/aler/advance-a… Post-reform, patent case filings increased, small Ps won less/settled more, & large Ps spent less on litigation
.Christian Helmers, @DrLukeMcDonagh, Yassine Lefouili, and I have a guest post on Sufficient Description summarizing our new paper on fee shifting: sufficientdescription.com/2021/05/empiri… Thanks for the invitation, Norman.
.Christian Helmers & I recently posted a new working paper. We derive empirically testable predictions from the theoretical literature on hold-out, and we test those predictions using indicators of hold-out coded from US SEP case dockets. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

My paper with Christian Helmers and Yassine Lefouili examining the frequency and determinants of opportunistic conduct (i.e., hold up) by SEP enforcers was published last week by the American Law & Economics Review academic.oup.com/aler/advance-a…
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…
