Speaking at IP Colloquium at Indiana University Maurer School of Law (Bloomington)

Honored to speak at Indiana University Maurer School of Law on Thursday. I'll be sharing my latest paper, "Saving Substantial Similarity," which reveals a silent and startling decline in copyright owners' ability to vindicate their rights in court, explains how lessons from design law can help reverse that decline, as well as the broader implications of systemic bias on the civil justice system as seen through the lens of copyright infringement.

64th Annual IP Conference – Welcome back, Provost Poser!

UIC John Marshall Law School celebrates the 80th year of its IP program in 2020. Our time-honored program continues to be well-respected and was a key draw for UIC's decision to merge with the law school. From the start, we have enjoyed the personal support of Provost Susan Poser, for which we are very grateful.   Provost Poser delivered the opening remarks at our annual IP conference last year and has graciously agreed to join us again this year. She will deliver the closing address and share her thoughts on how the IP program fits into UIC's strategic priorities. We look forward to welcoming her back, and to continuing to do our small part in UIC's success story.   (Pictured below: Provost Poser, me, and Hon. Diane Wood, Chief Judge, Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, who delivered the keynote address at our 63rd Annual IP Conference in 2019)
