Antitrust Under Trump | Three Trends

In my comments to Sacha Sloan and The Capitol Forum, I predicted a shift in federal priorities under the Trump administration. We may see reduced tech merger scrutiny, more settlements, and fewer international regulatory collaborations. This would align with President Trump’s more isolationist stance, a focus on shielding U.S. tech from foreign regulation, and, I might add, a desire to buttress national champions competing with Chinese enterprises.

Competition Policy International | Notification and Permission-Based Approaches for Generative AI Platforms

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.

Exploring New Horizons | Penn State Dickinson Law Study Trip to Singapore

This week, I sat down with my Penn State Dickinson Law colleague, Toni Fitzgerald, to talk about the Dickinson Law delegation study trip to Singapore. It was a carefully crafted journey to bridge continents, spark meaningful dialogue, and explore future global legal education and practice pathways.

Stay tuned for updates on Toni’s coverage, which will capture the experiences, highlights, and key takeaways of our time in Singapore. We’re excited to share this journey with you all, and we hope Toni’s articles will inspire others to think globally and pursue bold, cross-border educational experiences.

WIPO | Pathfinders Initiative

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.

Mike Palmedo gave me a tour of the Library of Congress. I chanced upon the first map of the United States, published in 1784. Despite the enormous size of the state of Pennsylvania, the map marks the town of Carlisle, home to Penn State Dickinson Law.
