In this Penn State Dickinson Law "Profiles in Leadership" episode, I interviewed Fordham University School of Law Dean Matthew Diller. Fordham Law is known for many things, including its service-oriented mission, its much-lauded evening program, and the annual intellectual property law conference organized by Emily C. and John E. Hansen IP Institute at Fordham Law School. Dean Diller reflected on his time as dean, how he stays connected with faculty, staff, and students, the successes he is most proud of, and why it’s easy for administrators to lose friends but hard for them to win friends. He also discussed his interview with Fordham University President Tania Tetlow, the challenges and opportunities working with the university as dean, the leadership lessons he learned from former dean John Feerick, the process of leadership succession, and what he hoped his successor, dean-designate Joseph Landau, would take from his deanship.

In this episode of Penn State Dickinson Law's "Profiles in Leadership Series," Dean Danielle Conway and I had the pleasure of speaking with Nichole Velasquez, Fellows Program Director at Leadership Council on Legal Diversity (LCLD), and Joel Samuels, a key member of Harness IP's litigation team.

Nichole and Joel shared insights into the program's evolution and its significant impact on mid-career attorneys. Leadership adaptation was another focal point, exploring how effective leadership in law requires continual learning and responsiveness to change. We reflected on the essence of leadership itself—what it means to lead in challenging times and how to foster environments that encourage growth and innovation. We also considered the advice they would give to their younger selves. This conversation was not just enlightening but also a reaffirmation of our commitment to shaping a more inclusive future in law. https://lnkd.in/geDJxAn7

"Daryl Lim, who teaches at Penn State Dickinson Law and is in Penn State University Penn State Center for Socially Responsible AI, laid out several priorities a committee should take when regulating AI. "Data privacy and protection are critical, especially given the vast data sets AI technologies utilize," said Lim. "Legislation must be robust in overseeing how data is collected, stored, and processed, addressing AI's unique challenges." Other areas to consider are accountability and liability for decisions made with AI, ethical standards for use and implementation into the workforce, and general regulations for using AI in the public sector."

After a long career in the private sector, Lisa Jorgenson took up leadership of World Intellectual Property Organization – WIPO's #Patents and Technology Sector in 2020, overseeing an area that includes the administration of the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) - the International Patent System. Her appointment as the first female Deputy Director General of the Patents and Technology Sector has sent a powerful message about WIPO's focus on #inclusivity. She has been a passionate advocate for women and for closing the gender gap in IP and technology for over 30 years. As a leader, Deputy Director General Jorgenson is deeply committed to advancing #women in innovative and creative sectors. Working towards a more balanced and #equitable IP landscape has been one of her top priorities. She joined me for a wide-ranging fireside to share her professional journey and lessons on leadership. https://youtu.be/eK6A-OoSCso #intellectualproperty #gender #leadership #technology #share Penn State Dickinson Law

Launching in Spring 2023, the “Profiles in Leadership” podcast series offers an unprecedented front-row seat to glean insights from top leaders in the law who serve in education, industry, government, and nonprofit sectors. Each guest will shed light on the attributes and qualities necessary to lead strategic change and help transform organizations and society. Viewers can expect to learn proactive, forward-thinking leadership skills, core values and principles of a strategic leader, and qualities influential leaders exhibit. Founded as a night school in 1884, Temple University has evolved into an international powerhouse in higher education and a top-tier research institution with roughly 40,000 undergraduate, graduate and professional students. As the largest university in one of the nation’s most iconic cities, Temple educates diverse future leaders from across Philadelphia, the country and the world. The university’s motto is “Perseverance Conquers.” Temple’s Board of Trustees unanimously confirmed Temple’s Provost Gregory Mandel on December 21, 2021. With the confirmation, Provost Mandel became the university’s chief academic officer and will oversee its broad portfolio, which includes 17 schools and colleges and various administrative offices. Mandel was a member of the Beasley School of Law faculty, including as dean. He joined me for a wide-ranging fireside chat to share reflections on his professional journey and lessons on leadership.

Stakeholders have desired greater coordination and greater grassroots engagement. The United States Intellectual Property Alliance - USIPA and its national and international chapters emerged in response. They rest on three pillars – 1) #IP awareness and education, 2) ecosystem #collaboration and 3) #diversity and #inclusion. The Alliances’ goals are as ambitious as they are noble – nothing less than improving the lives of every person on earth using IP through: . Empowering community colleges, university tech transfer offices, inventors, entrepreneurs, and creators. . Building a knowledgeable IP workforce by integrating IP training and skills development into #K12, #university, and other curricula across the country. . Establishing effective support structures so all people, especially underrepresented groups, can benefit from a bold reimagining of what IP can offer. The Alliances seek a more efficient, effective, and collaborative IP ecosystem to help people get what they need faster and at a fair price. They also shun lobbying for legislative change, given its divisiveness. Managing IP recognized Scott Frank, who heads the Alliances, as one of the 50 most #influential people in IP for his vision and efforts. If the Alliances can rebuild trust in the IP system, strengthen cooperation between skeptical stakeholders, and benefit neglected constituents, it will be a #gamechanger.

Delighted to be back in Washington, DC. Visited the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit to meet Hon. Pauline Newman and Hon. Tiffany Cunningham before attending the IPO Education Foundation Awards Celebration. The IP community celebrated Terrica Carrington (Inspiration Award), Gary Michelson (IP Champion Award), Sanjay Mehrotra (Executive of the Year Award), and Luke Haverhals and Aaron Amstutz (Inventors of the Year Award). Joined roundtable participants on Thursday to discuss "The Battle Over Patents: History And The Politics Of Innovation," edited by Stephen Haber and Naomi Lamoreaux. On Friday, I participated in the George Mason University Antonin Scalia Law School-Sunwater Institute's roundtable on "The Future of Property: Autonomy, Prosperity, and Conflict Mitigation." We discussed issues of contemporary importance, such as: • Can the concept of property resolve conflicts over commercial drones' use of airspace over private land? • Can the concept of property resolve conflicts over the use of objects in space? What conflicts does the concept resolve effectively? Is it ineffective at resolving any other issues? • Should there be differences in protections for medical procedures using conventional surgical equipment compared with procedures performed by (and or with) a surgical robot? • When lobbyists and public-relations specialists argue about injunctions and IP policy, what arguments do they make? Do they make the same arguments as academics, and if not, how do their arguments differ? • How do stakeholders affect meaningful change through Congress and the courts?

Penn State Dickinson Law is spearheading a first-of-its-kind initiative. The initiative builds on the law school’s role as host of the 17th Annual Lutie A. Lytle Black Women Law Faculty Workshop and Writing Retreat next year. The workshop is named after one of the world’s first Black woman law professors, a daughter of formerly enslaved parents. The workshop has supported current and aspiring Black women law faculty by helping them develop scholarly works, guiding them in attaining academic careers, as well as providing mentorship after. It has become a tradition for the hosting law school to reserve space for the Lutie law faculty scholarship in a symposium issue. This year under Dean Conway’s leadership, we are excited to work with Pennsylvania law schools to publish Lutie law faculty scholarship in flagship and specialty law reviews across our schools. Dubbed the “Lutie Pennsylvania Collaboration Initiative,” this joint enterprise powerfully underscores the remarkable commitment to inclusive scholarship and the bond of collegiality among the faculty, students, and administrators of these law schools.

Pleased to be back in Vegas, this time to participate in the marcus evans Group IP Law Summit. Corporate counsel, government officials, outside counsel, and academics gathered to discuss a wide range of practical topics, including developing a "five-star" IP portfolio, strategic budgeting, fine-tuning cybersecurity and data privacy measures and navigating the European unitary patent and developments in China. Congratulations to Ashli Thomas, Antonio Vann and the Marcus Evans team for putting together an outstanding event. Halozyme General Counsel Mark Snyder and I sat down for a fireside chat on IP leadership - within the corporation, in dealing with the government, and when thinking internationally. We also discussed the importance of working within coalitions such as the US IP Alliance and working with academia to advance data-driven analytics in areas like IP and antitrust law. On the sidelines of the Summit, I was delighted to meet with UNLV Law Dean Leah Chan Grinvald. Dean Grinvald continues to be engaged with IP issues, having returned that same day from speaking at the IP Owners (IPO) Annual Meeting on the right to repair. We will reunite for my vodcast series on IP and innovation leadership profiles. Stay tuned!

Back from a whirlwind trip to Singapore. Thank you to the IP Office of Singapore for hosting my visit, and congratulations on another outstanding edition of the Global Forum on IP. The event shows how small states can make a large impact on the global dialogue on the most pressing issues of our time. Our discussions underscored the importance of making the IP system work for everyone, particularly those who have yet to enjoy its fruits, ensuring innovation policy remains relevant to disparate challenges like climate change and the metaverse, and the need to build trust and resilience in a fragmented and wary world.

Delighted to join the Penn State Dickinson Law community along with my colleagues Dean Danielle Conway, Laura H. Williams, Katherine Pearson, and TaWanda Hunter Stallworth, M. Div. in Harrisburg for my first alum gathering. It was encouraging to see every decade represented since 1965! Kudos to Robin Langhans Kelly Rimmer Laura Weakland, and Brett Conway for putting together a great event. Looking forward to upcoming gatherings in Camp Hill on Friday, September 16 and Philly on Thursday, September 22. #community #law

Penn State | Meetings Delighted to meet with interim provost Justin Schwartz on his third day in office. We had a good discussion, including how my work with the Penn State Institute for Computational and Data Sciences and Penn State Dickinson Law's Intellectual Property Law & Innovation Initiative might contribute to university goals and better engage faculty across its disciplines in the coming year and beyond. Also met with IP clinic director Jonathan D'Silva and Happy Valley LaunchBox Entrepreneurial Cog Connector Jason Huber. LaunchBox is a one-stop shop for the community to get no-cost legal advice, co-working facilities, programs to help startups, and more (see: https://happyvalley.launchbox.psu.edu/). Grateful to them for giving me a personal tour of LaunchBox. Caught up with Professor John Lopatka for lunch. John is one of the nation's leading antitrust scholars and serves as A. Robert Noll Distinguished Professor of Law at Penn State Law. Finally, my day's meetings ended with Professor Trent Jaeger, a cybersecurity expert. We are collaborating on a podcast on current cybersecurity issues scheduled for later this year. Stay tuned!

Delighted to join colleagues from the U.S., Israel, and Europe for the Law, Innovation and the Digital Economy seminar, hosted by the University of Oxford. Businesses are global, or global trends affect them, so it is important that the laws that govern them remain relevant and responsive. My remarks will address key trends in the #semiconductor industry, including the long-awaited bill aimed at increasing American competitiveness. This bipartisan achievement will send over 50 billion dollars to American manufacturing and scientific research. Seminar speakers will also address other topics, including algorithmic price personalization, the rise of moral robots, innovation in digital markets, international competition law enforcement, and the digitalization of justice. Kudos to Professors Shlomit Yanisky-Ravid and Ariel Ezrachi for their leadership and for gathering us together to discuss the implications of these important issues. Looking forward to joining Mateusz Grochowski Beril Boz Ronit Shimoni Uriel Mizlish Judge Daphna Blatman-Kedrai Yehuda Sommer Cohen Nigel Cook Eva Lein, Nikolas Guggenberger samuel ESTREICHER Alberto Aronovitz Carole Basri Dr. Milly Perry Elad Finkelstein Sivan Sabban Hacohen Michal Shapira and Peter Thompson.

Glad to reconnect with David Cohen as a guest on his podcast series, "Kidon IP War Stories." Our talk focused on legal academia, IP, and the perennial challenge of remaining relevant. I shared how my "outsider perspective" informed my approach to the law, why the international dimension is critical to domestic innovation policy, and the importance of bringing together nontraditional stakeholders into the fold to help address today's most pressing issues. https://youtu.be/k1fB1SpUhjA?t=1      

Wrapping up my goodbyes with colleagues at Northwestern Law, Loyola University Chicago School of Law and Chicago-Kent College of Law. I hope to meet with other colleagues I missed at these schools and DePaul University College of Law! The IP community in Chicago is well-known for being very collegial and supportive - embodying the best of Midwestern charm. Over the years, they gamely spoke at our public lectures, seminars, and conferences, guest lectured our students, and invited me to do the same. In addition, these colleagues were my sounding board for article advice, colleague advice, and even career advice. I will miss having conversations with them in person. Besides local partners, I also worked with partners from further afield. Detlef von Ahsen, whom I've collaborated with for several years, invited me for tea during his recent visit to Chicago. The then-John Marshall Law School (now University of Illinois Chicago School of Law) offered an annual European patent practice seminar with his law firm, Kuhnen & Wacker, for over thirty years. Unfortunately, with declining numbers, we had to abandon what was comfortable and familiar to offer something relevant and attractive to attendees. So I reached out to another long-time partner of ours, Matthias Reischle from the World Intellectual Property Organization – WIPO, who was also facing declining enrollment in the Patent Cooperation Treaty seminar it offered with John Marshall for decades. It was not an easy negotiation. I had to build trust and confidence with all sides that this would be a viable product worth flying to Chicago for and investing considerable resources to co-organize and promote the event. Fortunately, the tripartite effort paid off. The redesigned event allowed us to combine both seminars into the International IP Practice Seminar, covering the major areas of IP and regions of the world. In four years, we increased enrollment to over 400 registrants worldwide. Today, the seminar continues to thrive. You can attend it virtually this fall on Friday, October 21. John Lewis reminded us to "[g]et in good trouble, necessary trouble." Progress and innovation may mean causing good trouble. So let's not shrink from being good troublemakers when we need to!

I recently chaired my last meeting at UIC Law with adjuncts who teach intellectual property, privacy, and technology law courses. I thanked them for taking time out of their busy day jobs to share their insights and experience with students. Adjuncts are the backbone of these courses and, from the feedback I received over the years, equip UIC Law students with important practice-ready skills that make them sought-after. Many do well after graduation and hold important positions in industry, nonprofits, practice, and government. I introduced Gary Friedlander, who took over the IP, tech, and privacy program at UIC Law last Friday. Gary will also teach a course in global privacy law. The adjuncts introduced themselves and gave him a warm welcome. Several adjuncts have decades-long experience. Others just joined UIC Law as part of the program's recruitment campaign to broaden and deepen its adjunct pool and continue to offer students the best in class education for many more years. I fondly remember my first adjunct meeting about six years ago, shortly after I took over from Emeritus Professor Doris Long, who now also serves as an adjunct. You can see her in the more recent group picture we took together, dressed in red. We all looked a little younger then! It is fitting as I pass the baton to Gary that we remember these important relationships with our adjuncts that helped the law school establish its reputation year by year, course by course, and student by student.

A special thank you to Peter Picht for his post-event hospitality! He gave me a tour of downtown Zurich. The weather was lovely. We stopped by H Schwarzenbach, a Swiss institution that offers an impressive array of chocolates, specialty coffee beans, teas, dried fruits and spices. I got to savor a chocolate beverage sweetened with cacao fruit juice. The baristas kindly offered me a sample of the juice, which tasted floral, mildly sweet, and pleasant. We also visited Fraumünster Church to view Chagall's stained glass windows. The Art Institute of Chicago, too, has its version of Chagall's windows, and it was nice to see the different variations on a theme. Finally, a part shot of the conference hotel featured an interesting ramp connecting the bedrooms in the hotel annex where I stayed. It reminded me of Frank Lloyd Wright's Guggenheim Museum design in New York - another Chicago connection.

Few professors have lived through an institutional change as significant as those of my colleagues and me at an institution known for 120 years as the John Marshall Law School. In 2019, we became UIC John Marshall Law School, Chicago’s first and only public law school and the 16th college of an R1 university with 34,000 students. The merger opened up new avenues to collaborate across departments. It also gave faculty from the law school unprecedented access to university level-leadership mentorship opportunities and decision-making. I had the honor and privilege of experiencing both - with the faculty administrator leadership program for two years and, concurrently, with the university promotion and tenure committee for three years. Grateful for the opportunity to catch up over lunch with Nancy Freitag, who served as Vice-Provost for Faculty Affairs and Jamie Friedman Chriqui, who served as Committee Co-Chair. No one did more than the two of them to make deliberations of the hundreds of candidate applications we received over those three years fair, efficient, and even enjoyable. We have all moved on since. Nancy now serves as Head of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the College of Pharmacy, and Jamie serves as Senior Associate Dean at the School of Public Health. As for me, I look forward to working with my new colleagues both within the law school and across the Penn State community in the next chapter of my career.

Uncertain trademark infringement rules cause negotiations to break down, harming both brand owners and potential licensees. They also act as a drag on dispute resolution, compliance, and social equity. The rational response must be a call for clarity in the law. Whether the courts’ analysis of confusion will evolve in the future depends on how quickly they can absorb and apply new research. Judges and lawyers are very busy people. They usually focus on the task at hand using the tools at hand, which is completely understandable. This is where publications like World Trademark Review (WTR) are crucially important because they distill new knowledge and make them accessible to judges and lawyers - both digestible and within their radar. Kudos to WTR Senior Reporter Victoria Arnold-Rees for her article "Three tips for US litigants: court rulings on likelihood of confusion unpicked," for doing precisely that. She does an exemplary job navigating through complex legal doctrine and empirical data to offer stakeholders the most relevant and immediately applicable insights.

One of the great pleasures in my work is to connect with inspiring people to find new ways to collaborate. Professor James G. Conley and I have done so several times over the years, most recently through our work with the Illinois IP Alliance (https://www.ilipalliance.org/). He hosted me for a farewell lunch at Northwestern University's beautiful campus in Evanston. Professor Conley is an inventor who serves as a faculty member in the Kellogg Center for Research in Technology & Innovation. He also serves as a Faculty Fellow at the Northwestern University Segal Design Institute and is a Charter Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors.

Congratulations to Christine Chabot, Max Huffman, Matthew Sag, Spencer Waller, and their team for another splendid #antitrust colloquium, now in its 22nd year. The annual event brings together government enforcers, practitioners, corporate counsel, and academics. It is unique in connecting in-depth antitrust research with practice and policymaking. The legal profession would benefit from more events fostering synergies like this one, which does it so well. After a long hiatus, I enjoyed catching up with friends and colleagues. It was also a treat to hear warm applause from a live audience and the chatter of the crowd during breaks, familiar sounds muted for too long but which are now emerging both here and elsewhere once more.

The Emily C. and John E. Hansen IP Institute at Fordham Law School annual conference kicked off with government leaders' perspectives on IP. In some of her first public comments, USPTO Director Kathi Vidal noted, "we've laid a lot of groundwork in the last few years, but we need to connect the dots now." She spoke of the importance of collaborating across agencies and borders and shared her vision and goals for the agency. I sensed a deep willingness to listen, engage, and lead in tackling common challenges. I saw this willingness as well in Director Videl's response to an audience question about The New York Times op-ed on patents (https://nyti.ms/3L5Q8Ac), where she said, "I thought some of the ideas in the editorial had merit, and I will say just overall whether you're in the New York Times, whether you've just got a great idea, and you want to express it more privately, I want to hear all the good ideas, and I thought a lot of those were really good. So I think it's just part of a long continuing dialogue." bit.ly/fordhamip_2022

Each year, our series of conferences, seminars, talks, and courses culminate in our flagship annual #intellectualproperty law conference. Throughout its 65 years, the conference has chronicled key intellectual property, privacy, and technology law developments in the #unitedstates, and more recently, from around the world. Many who made the news also graced our event as speakers, giving attorneys and students alike a ringside seat to those developments, while also giving our faculty, alumni, and supporters an opportunity to shape the discussion. This year, we are pleased to share with you our plenary sessions. They showcase some of the conference's best moments and powerfully illustrate the quality of candid, spontaneous debate. We hope you will enjoy viewing it as much as we have enjoyed bringing the intellectual property world together all these years. Save the date for our 66th conference - 11.11.22. We hope to see you then!

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.

Every #thanksgivingweek IPWatchdog, Inc Editor-in-Chief Eileen McDermott curates a special post featuring reflections on what the IP community is thankful for. Here's mine. You can read Eileen's full post here: https://bit.ly/3rhn0Pa ______ I am thankful for a rare consensus between pharma and tech – that patents rules governing artificial intelligence are sound. George Mason University - Antonin Scalia Law School Center for Intellectual Property x Innovation Policy’s Virtual 2021 Annual Fall Conference focused on the interface between #artificialintelligence and #intellectualproperty. Panelists from biopharma companies like Novartis and Genentech on one panel, and from Google on another, shared the view that current patent rules supported AI innovation. These two industries have vastly different business models and deeply divided views on patent law and policy. Those views had stumped #patenteligibility reform. Had either side been dissatisfied with the status quo on AI, they could have lauded developments elsewhere, including recent ones in South Africa and Australia, as pointing the way forward here in the United States. Notably, they did not. Industry consensus gives the government guidance and the time and space to consult widely, as the USPTO has done on AI, and to make balanced and carefully considered adjustments where needed. That is as it should be.
