IPWatchdog | All I Want for IP in 2023

The United States needs a coherent, focused, and long-term national IP strategy. That strategy should cover four key areas – 1) enhancing national security and competitiveness, 2) ensuring how we encourage entrepreneurship and settle disputes remains fit for purpose, 3) fostering inclusive innovation, and 4) building a wellspring of strategic trust and effective means of coordination through coalitions and alliances. To succeed, a national IP strategy will require bipartisan support undergirded by informed decision-making and a détente between groups focused on short-term sectarian interests. IP advocates must engage players whose incentives favor weak IP rights and convince them that undermining those rights cedes a key geostrategic advantage to its foreign rivals. Strong foreign policies begin at home. Like the benefits of free trade and globalization, IP has lost favor with many in the very nation that boldly championed them decades ago. Women, racial, and other traditionally neglected groups need to become IP’s champions, engage in its evolution, and in so doing, help ensure its longevity. The time for a national conversation on how IP can help America remain the leading voice in a multipolar world is now. You can read my fellow contributors' wishes for 2023 using the link below.

IPWatchdog | What’s in Store in 2023?

What’s in store for IP in 2023? AI will continue to feature prominently. Tribunals have settled questions of inventorship and authorship. IP will remain a human-centric regime for now. The next phase of litigation will focus on questions of infringement, fair use, and damages. Matthew Butterick’s class action lawsuit against Microsoft, GitHub, OpenAI, and other companies involved in designing Copilot opens the next salvo. Software developers, artists, writers, and privacy activists have complained tech companies training AI systems use data that does not belong to them and do not provide compensation. The Supreme Court’s decision on Artist Andy Warhol’s use of Lynn Goldsmith’s Prince photograph may well influence the contours of when training and output of an AI model are infringing in Butternick’s case. Moreover, its views on the extraterritorial reach of trademark rights may also affect how courts construe damages in AI cases. Watch this space.

IPWatchdog | Alliances to Watch

Stakeholders have desired greater coordination and greater grassroots engagement. The United States Intellectual Property Alliance - USIPA and its national and international chapters emerged in response. They rest on three pillars – 1) #IP awareness and education, 2) ecosystem #collaboration and 3) #diversity and #inclusion. The Alliances’ goals are as ambitious as they are noble – nothing less than improving the lives of every person on earth using IP through: . Empowering community colleges, university tech transfer offices, inventors, entrepreneurs, and creators. . Building a knowledgeable IP workforce by integrating IP training and skills development into #K12, #university, and other curricula across the country. . Establishing effective support structures so all people, especially underrepresented groups, can benefit from a bold reimagining of what IP can offer. The Alliances seek a more efficient, effective, and collaborative IP ecosystem to help people get what they need faster and at a fair price. They also shun lobbying for legislative change, given its divisiveness. Managing IP recognized Scott Frank, who heads the Alliances, as one of the 50 most #influential people in IP for his vision and efforts. If the Alliances can rebuild trust in the IP system, strengthen cooperation between skeptical stakeholders, and benefit neglected constituents, it will be a #gamechanger.
