Check out this interesting Lawfare piece by recent @nyulaw.bsky.social grad & Furman Scholar Micah Musser on AI regulation & the Takings Clause. IP prof friends, Micah plans to present a larger academic project on "Taking Intellectual Property" @ IPSC this August www.lawfaremedia.org/article/ai-r...

AI Regulation and the Looming Problem of the Takings Clause

Regulations that force developers to disclose trade secrets to the public could violate the Constitution. How can regulators respond?

“We propose that state supreme courts amend their rules of professional conduct to impose a uniform ‘hold open’ date for offers until Oct. 1 of students’ 2L year for 2L summer positions.” @marklemley.bsky.social & I have an op-ed in Bloomberg on early recruiting news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

State Supreme Courts Can Resolve Early Legal Recruiting Mess

Opinion: Imposing a uniform "hold open" date for job offers to law students would likely put much-needed brakes on accelerated recruiting.

What a fun trip to Louisville to take part in the 50th Copyright Society Annual Meeting, where I became a Copyright Society Trustee and did a fireside chat with Bob Brauneis on “The Lessons of Copyright Revision 50 Years On” ©️

Design patent rejections are skyrocketing. Our latest analysis shows §102 rejections have jumped sevenfold since 2008, with Amazon listings now dominating as prior art. Read how e-commerce is reshaping design patent prosecution on Patently-O.

Amazon as Prior Art: The Rise in Design Patent §102 Rejections

Design patent §102 anticipation rejections have risen sevenfold since 2008, driven almost entirely by Amazon and e-commerce listings replacing patents as the dominant source of prior art.

I'm delighted that my article "First Ideas" is now published in the Georgetown Law Journal @georgetownlaw.bsky.social www.law.georgetown.edu/georgetown-l...

First Ideas

We live in a world obsessed with firsts, in terms of accomplishments, creations, races, and milestones. At the same time, societal understandings of “first” can obscure others who in fact came beforehand. This Article is about understanding the hold that the idea of “first” has over intellectual property laws and how this hold can make the allocation of intellectual property rights less effective. It locates the roots of “first” as a basis to allocate rights in traditional property law. It then sets out four values that a rule of first possession can be seen to promote when it is transplanted to intellectual property: fairness, order, societal benefits, and rhetorical power.

You may have noticed that when you ask an AI chatbot to evaluate ideas, it often starts with enthusiasm. And when you criticize its enthusiasm, it drops the enthusiasm. I asked Claude (Sonnet 4.6 extended) why it did this, and it had this reply—not news, but worth emphasizing.
