World IP Forum | Bangalore, India

Bengaluru is the home of India's tech giants. World IP Forum (WIPF) was more than an event; it was an experience that reinforced my belief in the importance of collaborating with new and existing partners. Referencing the World Economic Forum happening this week, I spoke about AI governance in the context of the governance of rights, governance of access, and governance models in the US, EU, China, and Singapore and what we could learn from each other. Now in its 12th edition, the WIPF attracted over 800 registrants globally. Congratulations to its co-founders, Jeet Agarwal and Navin Agarwal! Congratulations also to Scott Frank for receiving the Forum's 'Stalwart and Icon' award. Among his many hats, Scott is the founder of the United States Intellectual Property Alliance - USIPA, President and CEO of AT&T Intellectual Property and serves on our advisory board at Penn State Dickinson Law's IP and Innovation Initiative. Bengaluru is also the home of India's top law school, National Law School of India University. A thank you to Dr. Nigam Nuggehalli, his faculty colleagues, and students for their hospitality during my visit.

Penn State Dickinson Law IP & Innovation Initiative | Advisory Board

One of life's greatest joys lies in collaborating with individuals whose lives and actions inspire us. When Judge Michel and I partnered with Dean Conway to form our IP and Innovation Initiative's advisory board, our mission was to bring together a small group of individuals with integrity, dedication, and a self-evident record of service and excellence who would work with us to steer Penn State Dickinson Law to make a meaningful difference to our constituents at the law school, the state of Pennsylvania, the US, and beyond. The Initiative's first in-person event compelled me to stretch my horizons beyond what I had ever done. The Penn State Dickinson Law Innovation Forum on Capitol Hill convened government leaders and engaged stakeholders in crucial conversations on topics of immediate importance to our nation's security and competitiveness, inclusive innovation, drug pricing, environmental sustainability, and stakeholder collaboration in the context of IP and innovation law and policy. In this exclusive, closed-door, off-the-record, invitation-only setting, we fostered an environment where stakeholders could candidly exchange ideas—an opportunity rarely found elsewhere. Over two days, we aimed to transcend the usual conference rhetoric and actively seek solutions to systemic challenges. I am grateful for the friendship, leadership, and unwavering support of every member who joined us on this remarkable journey. Together, we are shaping the future of IP and innovation, making a lasting impact that resonates beyond our respective institutions. Onward and upward. #InnovationLeaders #IPInitiative #CollaborationMatters

A Busy Week | Cumberland Country Bar Association, ICDS, & Persuasion

A busy week in Carlisle, PA. Thank you to the Cumberland County Bar Association for the invitation to speak to its members about AI regulation. Those who gathered had great questions, and we had a good exchange of ideas. I am delighted to learn that many in the audience are Penn State Dickinson Law alumni, including Hubert Gilroy (Martson Law Offices) and Lisa Grayson, Esq. (Register of Wills & Clerk of Orphans' Court for Cumberland County). Dean Danielle Conway, Professor Sara Gerke and I hosted Penn State Institute for Computational and Data Sciences Director Jenni Evans and Director of Client Engagement Derek Leydig. Hope to share an exciting announcement before too long! Finally, but not least, I caught up with Gary Gilden, our immediate past dean. Gary developed a persuasion class that addresses how lawyers should adapt their persuasion to recent neuroscience findings as to how the brain receives and processes information. His course features a dazzling variety of innovations, including a field trip to Hershey Medical Center where Division Chief of Pediatric Neurosurgery Dr. Elias Rizk explained the operation of the brain using actual specimens.
