US Bar-EPO Liaison Council | Elections
The US Bar-European Patent Office (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 from 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.
Delighted to meet with members of the Council and elect our new Chair (Iris Mok, Intel), Vice-Chair (Laura Brutman, Banner Witcoff), and Enrica Bruno (Secretary, Steinfl + Bruno, LLP) this week.

ABA Podcast | Design Patents and Copyright’s Substantial Similarity
I had the privilege of sitting down with McAndrews, Held & Malloy, Ltd. Partner Dunstan Barnes and The American Bar Association Section of Intellectual Property Law’s #Design Rights Committee for a fireside chat on my recent Florida Law Review article “Saving Substantial Similarity.”
In a wide-ranging conversation, we discussed three lessons from design law’s Egyptian Goddess case for #copyright law, Senator Tillis’ recent proposal to establish a single IP agency and the importance of fostering intra-disciplinary conversations like this one. There is much that design law can teach the rest of IP and we have only just cracked the surface.

March 18 | Music Copyright Infringement: Global Perspectives
Please join us for our Music Copyright Conference on Friday, March 18, 2022!

This cross-pollination of ideas relating to national copyright regimes and musical expertise promises to spark new insights into adjudicating music infringement disputes, as well as those involving other genres of expression, in the U.S. and overseas.
