Delighted to be back in New York and Washington, DC this week.

Many thanks to Kenneth Min and his Practising Law Institute (PLI) team for inviting me to convene and host the Global IP Spotlight series. The upcoming episode on AI regulation and copyright will feature an outstanding panel consisting of Dr Stanley Lai, SC Lily Xue Dong Joshua G. Graubart Peter Yu and Matthias Leistner.

I am also grateful to Hideaki Roy Umetsu Aruto Kagami Kohei Wachi of Mori Hamada & Matsumoto for their warm hospitality at their New York office and to Nahoko Ono for connecting us. Ono-sensei will be a panelist on an upcoming Global IP Spotlight episode focusing on Japan. It was wonderful to be back at Fordham University School of Law and reconnect with my former colleagues Darin Neely and Aisha Harper.

Lastly but not least, I deeply appreciate Lisa Dunner’s invitation to attend the inaugural Donald R. Dunner Memorial Lecture and reception at The George Washington University Law School. I remain grateful to Don for agreeing to serve as chair of the John Marshall Law School IP program’s advisory board and Lisa as a board member. They provided much leadership, advice, and support during their tenure. Lisa and her sister Jennifer both earned their law degrees there. John Marshall is known today as the University of Illinois Chicago School of Law.

It was also a pleasure to catch up with Jenny Sue Dunner Joshua Sarnoff Patrick J. Coyne Nick Groombridge and Naja Cherry during my trip.

I recently examined the regulatory frameworks governing generative AI platforms in the October 2024 issue of Competition Policy International’s TechREG Chronicle. My article compares the flexibility of the U.S.’s notification-based DMCA model with the EU’s permission-based AI Act. I suggest a hybrid regulatory approach to balance innovation with IP protection. It proposes a forward-looking solution to reconcile the needs of content creators and technological advancement.

Honored to receive the World Intellectual Property Organization – WIPO’s invitation to participate in its Pathfinders Initiative.

It is substantively an important undertaking – to help UN member states navigate innovation challenges and opportunities in the years ahead. It is also an important initiative to strengthen the rules-based multilateral framework of laws and cooperation that has undergirded the prosperity and peace that most of its members have enjoyed since the end of the Second World War, now almost 80 years ago.

Long may our spirit of international friendship and the forward-looking aspirations of our forebears endure.
