Sadly I was teaching tonight so I didn’t get out until the tail end of the show. Hoping for more tomorrow. (My IP students were pretty excited about the aurora too. The kids are okay.)

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.

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/magaz…

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

Great post by @PatentJosh 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! patentprogress.org/2024/07/s…

In a newly revised paper now forthcoming in IRLE, @crhelmers 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.…

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

Creators must be properly compensated, he said. “What incentive will tomorrow's writers, creators, journalists, thinkers, and artists have if AI has the ability to extract their ingenuity without appropriate compensation?”

Happy to report that our study (w/ @crhelmers) 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.…

@tnarecha, 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/prin…

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.

ha ha, Google dug up a British constitutional law scholar as their expert on why the Seventh Amendment doesn't allow a jury of Americans to decide if Google screwed over the rest of the advertising industry. 6/4 storage.courtlistener.com/re…

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.

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/n…

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'll be honest, I can't remember who my college commencement speaker was

They’re both psychopaths. The correct answer is “leave your stuff in the suitcase and just live out of it til it’s empty.”
There are two types of people. Those who unpack immediately after returning from a trip. Those who let the suitcase sit for days before tackling it. Both believe people in the other group are psychopaths.
