Building Bridges | 38th US Bar- European Patent Office Liaison Council Meeting

Honored to join my fellow council members in the 38th US Bar- European Patent Office Liaison Council Meeting led via hybrid format in Washington, DC, on Monday, November 7, 2022.

The US Bar-EPO Liaison Council is a forum to facilitate exchange between the EPO and US applicants, who account for a quarter of EPO’s users, the largest number from any single country. The Council represents IP law associations and IP sections of state bar associations across the country. It increases mutual understanding of European and US patent practice and updates members on recent developments on both sides of the Atlantic.

The agenda covered a wide range of issues. European Patent Office President António Campinos and Council President Iris Mok opened the session. Principal Director (Legal Affairs) Mihaly Ficsor chaired the proceedings.

Thank you to the EPO officials who ably briefed the Council on the following topics:
• The Unitary Patent (Michael Fröhlich)
• Timeliness and Quality (Emma Ó Donnabháin)
• European qualifying examination and quality (Xavier Seuba)
• AI patents/ Oral proceedings in opposition by videoconference (Doris Thums)
• Legal changes to support digital transformation (Laurence Brüning-Petit)
• Substantive patent law harmonization (Sylvie Strobel)

Rethinking IP Education | Texas A&M Intellectual Property Scholars Roundtable

A pleasure to join fellow IP scholars for the annual Texas A&M Intellectual Property Scholars Roundtable. One feature of the roundtable is its focus on discussion rather than presentations. Another is the collegial exchanges and warm hospitality of our hosts. Many thanks to Professors Peter Yu, Srividhya Ragavan, Jeff Slattery, Prof. H. Brian Holland Glynn Lunney Hannah Bloch-Wehba.

I spoke about adapting IP law and education to remain relevant, particularly regarding disruptive technologies, geostrategic shifts, and inclusive innovation. AI patents recorded their highest annual average growth rate ever. With advances in AI, what is certain is that our role in creating and inventing will continue to diminish. Unfortunately, the law on infringement remains untested. A carefully calibrated safe harbor is better than fair use.

We also need to consider inclusive innovation in thinking about a long-range national IP strategy. The USPTO, Santa Clara University School of Law, the Institute for Intellectual Property and Social Justice, University of California system, and the United States Intellectual Property Alliance – USIPA lead this important crusade. Each is working to broaden the participation of underrepresented groups in innovation and entrepreneurship, including by collecting and analyzing data to establish metrics and help inform policy changes.

We need to broaden our definition of IP education in more dimensions. For example, The Michelson Institute for Intellectual Property helped 85 community colleges to supply regions with talent pipelines and hopes to scale distribution throughout K-16. Its strength is its focus on local communities and reaching groups outside the ecosystem of typical IP stakeholders.

Those of us in universities also must step up to provide thought leadership to help decision-makers in government, make interdisciplinary research mainstream, and continue to build on international collaboration. In a more uncertain and volatile world, building a national and international network of bridges will be even more important.

AI & IP | Tarrant County Bar Association

Delighted to speak with members of Texas’ Tarrant County Bar Association and Texas A&M University School of Law’s faculty and students on “#IP Trends in #AI Law – Domestic and International Treatment.” We had a wide-ranging discussion on legal developments, geostrategic developments between the US and China, and the importance of a national AI-IP strategy.

Photos (clockwise): speaking about how Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s AI identified a powerful new drug that can kill many species of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Researchers called it “halicin,” after the AI system from “2001: A Space Odyssey”; with Texas IP Alliance representative Sophia Sakupwanya, Tarrant County Bar Association IP Section Chair Jeff Slattery, and Professor Peter Yu; receiving a token of appreciation from Mr. Slattery, a group photo with attendees.

Texas A&M University School of Law | IP Scholars Roundtable

Looking forward to joining friends and colleagues across the country and abroad at Texas A&M University School of Law’s Annual IP Scholars Roundtable. Over the years, the event has continued to provide a collegial opportunity for exchanging ideas, presenting research and sharing experiences.

My remarks will cover the theme of adaptation in IP law and policy; specifically, the impact of disruptive technologies like AI and recent dramatic geostrategic shifts, the rise of social justice and inclusive innovation; and recommendations for IP law and education to adapt to these changes to remain relevant and legitimate.

IP Law Society | Student Dialogue

Students are at the heart of what we do at Penn State Dickinson Law. I was very pleased to join the #intellectualpropertylaw society members for a lunchtime dialogue that my colleague Professor Martin Skladany ably moderated. Students asked excellent questions and were keen to make a difference.

In a wide-ranging conversation, we discussed the challenges IP practitioners face, AI’s impact on IP law, initiatives companies and law firms have in place for diversifying their legal counsel, getting involved with the local community by being an ad hoc IP resource, and how they position themselves to get good jobs in a competitive market.

Thanks to IP Law Society President Abraham L. Lamptey, Ph.D., for inviting me. I look forward to our next dialogue session together and finding new ways for students to be involved with our #iplaw and #innovation Initiative. #community #legal #law #students #ai #jobs
