WIPO | Pathfinders Initiative

Honored to receive the World Intellectual Property Organization – WIPO's invitation to participate in its Pathfinders Initiative. It is substantively an important undertaking - to help UN member states navigate innovation challenges and opportunities in the years ahead. It is also an important initiative to strengthen the rules-based multilateral framework of laws and cooperation that has undergirded the prosperity and peace that most of its members have enjoyed since the end of the Second World War, now almost 80 years ago. Long may our spirit of international friendship and the forward-looking aspirations of our forebears endure. https://dickinsonlaw.psu.edu/daryl-lim-participates-wipos-pathfinders-initiative Penn State Dickinson Law

Why “We Are” | Renee C. Compasso-Quinn & Morgan Connell

Renee C. Compasso-Quinn and Morgan Connell are proud Penn State University alumnae who helped make IPWatchdog, Inc recent conference and 25th anniversary celebration a resounding success. Renee shared the deeply meaningful origin behind the phrase "We Are." It dates back to 1946, when "when the Nittany Lion football team made history for refusing to play in a game against then-segregated University of Miami. When told they must leave its Black players at home, the Penn State team instead voted to cancel the game. The following season, Penn State was invited to the Cotton Bowl but was again asked to leave the team's two Black athletes — Wally Triplett and Dennie Hoggard — at home. The Nittany Lions refused that request, with captain Steve Suhey reportedly saying, “We're Penn State,” indicating that they were a unified team. The full team ended up going to the Cotton Bowl on Jan. 1, 1948, in a matchup against Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. With Dallas still operating under Jim Crow laws at the time, it was a game that would become symbolic of desegregation in athletics. Triplett and Hoggard became the first African Americans ever to play in the Cotton Bowl." - Why we say 'We Are': https://www.psu.edu/news/campus-life/story/why-we-say-we-are IPWatchdog Conference website: https://ipwatchdog.com/4th-annual-ipw-live-2024/ Penn State Dickinson Law Antiracist Development Institute at Penn State Dickinson Law

Capitol Forum | AI, Journalism, & Antitrust

Lawmakers on Capitol Hill are raising alarms about Big Tech's use of generative AI tools that summarize or repurpose creators' work, potentially infringing on antitrust laws. Led by Senator Amy Klobuchar, eight Democratic senators have called on the FTC and DOJ to investigate whether AI features on platforms like Google unfairly exploit content from publishers without proper compensation. The senators argue that these practices could harm the digital marketplace by reducing competition, stifling innovation, and undermining the business model of content creators, particularly in journalism. Sara Morrison featured my thoughts in her excellent article in The Capitol Forum. https://dickinsonlaw.psu.edu/associate-dean-daryl-lim-quoted-capitol-forum
