Law360 Interview | #AI #DABUS #IP #Patent #South Africa #Australia

I spoke with Law360's Andrew Karpan about the significance of #AI #DABUS #patent #StephenThaler developments in #SouthAfrica and #Australia. While we didn't speak about it specifically, Andrew kindly referenced my work on the issue (for those interested, available here: https://bit.ly/ai_ip_lim). Article here: https://www.law360.com/articles/1410414. (There's a paywall but apparently available through Lexis and to students and adjuncts using a law school network).   Good to learn Chris Mammen, John Osha, and Celine Jimenez Crowson's views on this important matter. Also mentioned: USPTO and AIPPI University of Illinois Chicago School of Law Hogan Lovells Womble Bond Dickinson (US) LLP Osha Bergman Watanabe & Burton LLP

Florida Law Review | Saving Substantial Similarity

Pleased to share my article, “Saving Substantial Similarity,” just published by the Florida Law Review. I found that today’s copyright plaintiffs have the worst win rate in a century and discuss the causes of this trend. I set out three ways to rehabilitate this important doctrine and more broadly address the debates on rules versus standards, the centrality of jury trials, and structural biases within the American justice system. Read it here: https://bit.ly/floridalr_sss

Liber Amicorum | Honoring Herb Hovenkamp

Delighted to see this volume edited by Nicolas Charbit and Sébastien Gachot honoring the remarkable work of Herbert Hovenkamp will be out next week. The Hon. Bill Baer's Forward put it well: "This Concurrences tribute to the exceptional scholarship of “The Dean of Antitrust Law” is well deserved. ... We need guidance on how to make a free-market economy work for us all. We need more of my friend and mentor, Herb Hovenkamp." The volume includes my chapter distilling Herb's insights on the interface between antitrust and intellectual property and his thoughts on improving that relationship. Honored to join my fellow contributors to show our appreciation of our friend and colleague Herb Hovenkamp.
