Public Lecture @PKUShenzhen
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.

Study Visit to Shanghai and Shenzhen
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.

CQ/Roll Call Interview on New SEP Policy Statement
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.
Patent Wishes
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.
