IPWatchdog | “Patent Stakeholders Share Their IP Wishes for the New Year”

When IPWatchdog, Inc invited me to share my wishes for the new year, I selected these:

1) A détente between the US and China, and that what we can do through “big-tent” IP conferences, institutional partnerships between IP stakeholders, and a resilient and proactive network of people-to-people ties can make a difference,

2) A Singapore-style copyright exception for text and data mining to promote the growth of AI industries in the US while protecting the rights of content owners here, and,

3) That multilateral and regional organizations will regain their relevance in helping establish relevant, responsive, and balanced worldwide IP norms. Key issues like access to vaccines and treatments, cross-border forum shopping in standard-essential patent litigation, the protection and enforcement of AI-related technologies, and emerging issues like non-fungible tokens and virtual spaces like Facebook’s metaverse demand coherent and balanced answers on a global scale.
