Wrapped up a fruitful trip to Indiana University (Bloomington). Over lunch, Prof. Mark Janis who heads the Center for IP Research and I discussed how we can co-host a couple of events, alternating between Chicago and Indianapolis/Bloomington. This would allow us to expand the reach of our events to stakeholders in the Midwest while deploying our resources more efficiently.

At Prof. Marshall Leaffer‘s symposium, I shared with students and attorneys how AI and behavioral economics can help litigating parties provide courts with better evidence-based narratives in IP-antitrust cases involving innovation (“Futurecasting”). Participants, many of whom were international students, had great questions and insights to share. A few joined us for dinner afterward, where I learned that two of them will soon be coming to Chicago to join the IP teams at Jones Day and Ice Miller next year.
