The Thomas Edison Innovation Fellowship brings together a group of patent scholars to both learn from and work with distinguished leaders in the field over the course of a year. Organized by George Mason University’s Center for the Protection of IP (CPIP), Fellows will eventually publish one or more papers based on their research during the Fellowship.
Glad we are able to honor this great man who gave selflessly to others and recognize the ideals that he stood for with this award.
UIC Provost Susan Poser designed the Faculty-Administrator Leadership Program (FALP) to develop the leadership capabilities of faculty interested in learning more about senior administrative roles in higher education. The cohort selected this year consists of twelve faculty members representing the disciplines of medicine, mechanical and industrial engineering, chemical engineering, electrical and computer engineering, public health, design, pharmacy, linguistics, and law.
Here is a write-up on the public lectures Hugh Hansen and I gave at Peking University School of Transnational Law, as well as remarks by He Jing afterward.
I spoke about AI, 5G, and the Internet of Things in the context of U.S.-China relations. The reporter’s attention to detail was remarkable, even picking up on my analogies to “Story of Yanxi Palace,” the most Googled show on Earth in 2018.
I am delighted to announce that former Federal Circuit Chief Judge Paul Michel has accepted my invitation to serve as Chair of the Center’s advisory board.
Visited Shanghai and Shenzhen this week as part of a study tour co-organized by the Fordham IP Institute and AnJie Law Firm. The face-to-face meetings we had with judges, academics, lawyers, and in-house counsel were helpful in better understanding the reality of legal developments there as well as how they perceive developments in the United States. I was encouraged that despite the ongoing trade war between the two countries, people to people ties remain warm.
We’re delighted to partner with The Copyright Society of the USA to welcome @McDermottLaw’s Jennifer Mikulina & @catalina’s Ariana Voigt for our first event of 2020!

The DOJ, USPTO, and NIST recently issued a joint policy statement on standards-essential patents. In an interview with CQ/Roll Call’s M&A/antitrust reporter Alexei Alexis, I shared my thoughts on this development.
IPWatchdog ran a trilogy of articles: roundups, predictions, and wishes. If you missed my earlier posts on the former two, you’ll find them here (http://bit.ly/2Qjy6QV) and here (http://bit.ly/2MShNsh).For the final post in the series, my top three were:
1. That past accomplishments will inspire today’s IP leaders to do even better;
2. That IP Offices will continue to evolve; and
3. That stakeholders will learn to think, both fast and slow.
