[Global IP, AI & Tech Conclave & Awards, Dubai]
Dubai’s economic transformation in one generation is remarkable, and its attractiveness as a venue for global conversations is part of its success.
I spoke on a panel at Global IP, AI & Tech Conclave & Awards focused on ownership and infringement issues in AI. I also moderated a panel on the transformative impact of AI on the fashion industry, management consulting, patent and copyright law, and current regional and global initiatives.
During the awards ceremony, conferred by a jury panel to “celebrate change makers and drivers of excellence in IP,” the Honorable Justice Yashwant Varma of the Indian High Court presented me with an award.
Congratulations to Aakriti Raizada and her team.

[Community is where it’s at:
(1) Judge Sylvia Rambo Memorial Service Reception
(2) Immigration Attorney Luis Cortez Romero at Penn State Dickinson Law]
The start of the year has been filled with meaningful moments for the Dickinson Law community.
Here are two:
1. We hosted a reception in honor of Judge Sylvia Rambo (JD ’62), whose memorial service occurred earlier that day. President Jimmy Carter appointed Judge Rambo as the first woman to the federal bench in Pennsylvania’s Middle District, which covers 33 counties in the central and northeastern parts of the state. She also served as the first female chief judge of the court from 1992 to 1999.
In April 2021, then-Pennsylvania United States Senators Bob Casey Jr. and Pat Toomey jointly introduced legislation naming the new federal courthouse, then under construction, for Judge Rambo. President Joe Biden signed the bill into law. In 2022, Judge Rambo became one of a handful of women in US history to have an American federal courthouse named in her honor.
It was a privilege to gather with family, alumni, friends, and colleagues to honor a trailblazer and inspiration and celebrate her legacy. Judge Rambo’s contributions to the legal profession and her groundbreaking achievements will continue to inspire future generations.
2. I also enjoyed meeting Luis Cortes Romero, who spoke to our community about his work on immigrant rights. It was good to see faculty colleagues and students at the luncheon, where Attorney Romero took wide-ranging questions and candidly shared his experience working in the field.
A PBS documentary, “From Here/From There” (De Aquí /De Allá), charts the fascinating journey of the first undocumented lawyer to argue before the US Supreme Court. As one article noted, “The argument advanced by his team — that DACA should not be arbitrarily struck down because so many grantees, businesses and communities had come to rely on it — resonated with the court. This “reliance interest” was cited by Chief Justice John Roberts in his majority opinion in June 2020 keeping the program in place.”
Attorney Romero visited under the auspices of the law school’s Race and Equal Protection of the Law program.
These events were a powerful reminder of the impact that one person’s dedication and vision can have. Thank you to everyone who made these moments possible. Community is where it’s at.

I had the pleasure of speaking to Jenna Greene for her insightful Reuters piece on the challenges of quantifying privacy harms in the recent Apple Siri settlement.
Quantifying damages for privacy breaches is inherently complex. Our market-based framework treats privacy preferences as individual consumer choices – like selecting between products – rather than recognizing them as fundamental rights. As a result, deep-pocketed companies may not worry too much about legal exposure, treating lawsuit payouts for privacy breaches like a rounding error on their balance sheets.
Jenna’s article, which also features the views of privacy doyenne Danielle Citron, is a great read for anyone interested in privacy law, consumer rights, and the evolving landscape of data protection.

Grateful to Oliver Roberts and his colleagues at The National Law Review for the opportunity to share my thoughts on upcoming AI trends in legal practice and beyond alongside members of the federal judiciary, startup founders, CEOs, and AI practice leaders from global law firms. These conversations are vital as we navigate the transformative impact of AI on the legal profession and beyond.
I highlighted how:
– Generative AI tools are transforming legal workflows — from drafting and contract analysis to litigation outcome predictions — enhancing efficiency and access to legal services.
– Ethical AI certifications and compliance audits will increase as firms prioritize responsible AI usage.
– Legal AI could revolutionize dispute resolution through AI-powered mediation, arbitration, and online case assessments.
When asked about surprises in 2025, I warned about a potential black swan event where AI might be weaponized to manipulate legal proceedings — fabricating evidence or falsifying contracts in high-stakes cases. The threat of this crisis should demand global coordination to address vulnerabilities and redefine digital trust in legal practice.

Honored that my scholarship has been cited in both the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit and the U.S. Supreme Court. These citations affirm the collaborative spirit of legal scholarship and research’s role in helping inform decisions at the highest levels.
The Bar Association of the District of Columbia referenced my article “I Dissent: The Federal Circuit’s “Great Dissenter,” Her Influence on the Patent Dialogue, and Why It Matters” (Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law) in an amicus brief before the D.C. Circuit (Hon. Pauline Newman v. Hon. Kimberly A. Moore, et al.).
Additionally, four U.S. Supreme Court briefs cited my work:
– “I Dissent” in Miller Mendel, Inc. v. City of Anna, Texas
– “The Influence of Alice (Minnesota Law Review Headnotes)” in
Realtime Data, LLC v. Fortinet, Inc., et al.
– “Trademark Confusion Revealed (American University Law Review)” in Relish Labs LLC v. Grubhub Inc., as well as by constitutional law and intellectual property scholars in the Jack Daniel’s Properties v. VIP Products LLC case.

I’m honored that The Trademark Reporter (TMR) selected my article on AI and trademarks to be included in its special AI issue. The American University Law Review originally published the article in 2022.
TMR was founded in 1911 and is a resource the International Trademark Association (INTA) provides to practitioners, academics, and judges worldwide. Many thanks to Willard Knox and Pamela Chestek for their leadership. Pam eloquently summarizes my article in her Editor’s Note as follows:
“In “Trademark Confusion Revealed: An Empirical Analysis,” Daryl Lim analyzes courts of appeals’ decisions on the likelihood of trademark confusion and how the various factors are applied by the courts. Lim considers the possibility of using empirical analysis to train AI models that would allow courts to reach more consistent and accurate results and that would, in turn, allow trademark counselors to better predict likely outcomes before ever reaching the courts.”
The issue also features articles by scholars whose work I have studied and admire: Michael Grynberg, Christine Farley Matthew Dahl, Varun Magesh, Mirac S., Daniel Ho, Sonia Katyal, Aniket Kesari, Shlomit Yanisky-Ravid, and Molly Torsen Stech.

Delighted to join BBC News’s Katie Silver to discuss the strategies tech CEOs are employing as they prepare for the second Trump presidency, including the recent procession of business leaders to Mar-a-Lago. There will be sweeping changes ahead, from social media to semiconductor manufacturing, as companies like TikTok face decisions under pressure from the incoming administration’s policies on China, tariffs, antitrust, and more. President-elect Trump’s mercantilist pragmatism and signature dealmaking style may create non-conventional opportunities for allies and rivals to engage with the United States.
