Intellectual property law in the age of artificial intelligence under threat: At the weekend Jack Dorsey, co-founder of Twitter, posted “delete all IP law” on the social media platform, now rebranded as X. Current owner Elon Musk swiftly responded to the tweet with: “I agree." Dr Hayleigh Bosher, Reader in Intellectual Property Law at Brunel University, takes us through Dorsey's argument and what it tells us about Big Tech's changing attitude towards copyright. Amit Katwala, features editor at Wired, profiles Alexis Ohanian.

We talk to comedian Tamar Broadbent and Caroline Frost from the Radio Times about what we can expect from the remake.Producer: Lisa Jenkinson Assistant Producer: Lucy Wai

Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk advocate for the removal of intellectual property laws due to rising AI technologies. Dorsey claims these laws hinder creativity, while Musk supports this view. Critics, including lawyer Nicole Shanahan, argue that such laws protect human-created works from AI-generated content. Copyright holders continue to defend their rights, leading to lawsuits against AI companies like OpenAI, Google, and Meta for using copyrighted materials without proper compensation. The legal context is shifting, highlighted by a Delaware federal court's ruling against Ross Intelligence, which prohibited the use of Thomson Reuters content for AI training, indicating that fair use does not apply in certain commercial cases. Discussions on these legal nuances are ongoing as developments continue in courts.Learn more on this news visit us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

Tamany is a University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School Graduate and works as the Founding Partner of California IP Law. Tamany's journey is far from typical, graduating college with a degree in Biology, but after an experience in Washington DC, Tamany would switch course to the Law route, leading to a career full of success! Tamany and I start prior to her introduction to Pennsylvania Carey Law School, where she would delve into her story, going from the doctor route to the Law route. When she finally arrived at Pennsylvania Carey Law School, her first year of law school was as good as it gets, only focusing on school for the first time in her life and getting to experience a completely different experience from what she was used to. Throughout her time at Law School, Tamany would talk about the various experiences she had, landing on Patent and Intellectual Property Law, and her love and immense ability with Civil Procedure, to guide her future career decisions. Following that, Tamany would talk about her journey to the various major positions she has held, as well as speaking on other lawyers she had met throughout her time who didn't come from the top law schools but hustled and had an extreme level of care for what they were doing. Her advice was to be like them and take every day in law as another day to make an impact in the world. Finally, we would discuss what Tamany does today as the founding partner of her firm, California IP Law. Tamany discussed her experience opening her firm and the successes and struggles that came with it. In the end, Tamany's high-level experience in the Law offers insights of extreme value for all my friends out there. You don't want to miss this one!

Speaker: Professor Madhavi Sunder, Georgetown University Law SchoolAbstract: Innovation thrives on borrowing from creators, past and far-flung. When does cultural exchange cross the line into cultural misappropriation or theft decried as “cultural appropriation”? Notably, today's culture wars increasingly turn on intellectual property claims, with calls for attending to the legal and ethical implications of dominant cultural creators taking and profiting from the innovations of disadvantaged and minority creators. Black creators embark on a #TikTokStrike to protest white influencers siphoning credit and revenues from black creatives. The Mexican Culture Minister calls out high end fashion labels for stealing local designs. Black dancers sue blockbuster video game Fortnite for copying dance moves without credit or royalties. Native activists challenge racist trademarks. The implication is clear: intellectual property has a cultural appropriation problem. Is intellectual property an appropriate legal tool for addressing cultural appropriation? This Lecture builds on growing scholarship studying dispossession and racial capitalism to consider intellectual property's role in promoting or stifling recognition and redistribution for diverse creators.Biography: Madhavi Sunder is the Frank Sherry Professor of Intellectual Property Law at the Georgetown University Law Center. She is a widely published and influential scholar of intellectual property law, law and technology, women's human rights, and international development. In 2024-2025, she is the Co-director of the Center for Transnational Legal Studies in London.For more information see: https://www.cipil.law.cam.ac.uk/seminars-and-events/cipil-seminars

UN Cali Fund aims to collect millions, and possibly billions, of dollars for the conservation of nature and to benefit indigenous people. Synopsis: Every first and third Tuesday of the month, The Straits Times analyses the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change. Nature’s bounty is vast and we all benefit from it. Think of the huge variety of plants and their timber, seeds and fruits – even the materials from them to make cosmetics. The immense variety, the huge number of different species and traits in nature, comes from genetics. And this has long been an intangible part of biodiversity, one that is hard to put a price on. But a new fund agreed at UN biodiversity talks at the end of 2024 is set to change this. Called the Cali Fund, the industry is expected to contribute money for making use of nature. Companies, such as pharmaceutical and cosmetics firms, will pay for their use of the genetic resources from nature. Money will flow based on either a share of profits or turnover. But how exactly will this voluntary fund work? And how are these genetic resources defined and tracked? Green Pulse speaks with Dr Siva Thambisetty, an expert in Intellectual Property Law at the London School of Economics and Political Science. She was closely involved in the negotiations for the fund. A special thanks to Aruna Chandrasekhar, who helped with research for this episode. She covers land, food and nature for the Carbon Brief news site. Highlights of conversation (click/tap above): 2:53 What is the Cali Fund? 4:16 What is genetic material and digital sequence information (DSI)? 8:15 “DSI can also accelerate our research for new drugs.” 19:52 What about the risks of rising inequality? For example, rich companies using free genetic data to create profitable products? 23:32 How will the fund flow into conservation and to indigenous groups?

Reducing the cost of prescription drugs has been a bipartisan priority for years. One recent effort is the Preserve Access to Affordadble Generics and Biosimilars Act (S. 142), sponsored by Sen. Klobuchar with the support of Sen. Grassley and others. This bill would give the FTC new authority to investigate settlements between branded and generic drug companies that delay generic/biosimilar market entry and are deemed anticompetitive. The bill proposes allowing the FTC to make factual findings and liability determinations that the district court applies when computing damages. Our expert panel will discuss whether this bifurcated administrative/judicial arrangement can be squared with SEC v. Jarkesy and more broadly discuss issues around patent settlements in the bio/pharma space. Featuring:Matthew S. Hellman, Partner, Jenner & BlockWilliam M.

Chapter 8 of the Intellectual Property Law series offers a comprehensive overview of intellectual property (IP) licensing and technology transfer, crucial mechanisms for the dissemination and commercial exploitation of innovations. This chapter covers the essential frameworks, strategies, and legal nuances associated with licensing IP and transferring technology from research to commercial environments. Intellectual Property Licensing. Basics of IP Licensing. Introduction: IP licensing is defined as the process by which IP owners grant permissions to another party to use their intellectual property under specific conditions. This enables IP owners to monetize their assets while retaining ownership. Key Components: The chapter elaborates on critical aspects of a licensing agreement, including the scope of rights, financial terms, and usage rights. Each component is crucial for defining the boundaries and economic terms of the agreement. Types of Licenses. Exclusive Licenses: Grant exclusive rights to the licensee, often excluding even the licensor from utilizing the IP within the defined scope. Non-exclusive Licenses: Allow multiple parties to access and use the IP, suitable for technologies applicable across various industries. Sublicenses: Involve permissions granted by the licensee to a third party, extending the original terms of the license under controlled conditions. Legal and Business Considerations. Due Diligence: Emphasizes the importance of verifying the validity and enforceability of the IP. Negotiation Strategies: Discusses how to align the terms of the license with business goals and legal requirements. Compliance and Monitoring: Outlines mechanisms for ensuring adherence to the terms of the license, crucial for maintaining the agreement's integrity. Technology Transfer. Role of Technology Transfer Offices (TTOs). TTOs play a pivotal role in managing IP assets within universities and research institutions, facilitating the transition of innovations from the laboratory to the marketplace. Partnerships with Industry. Collaborative ventures between academia and industry are essential for the practical application of research. These partnerships often rely on licensing agreements that dictate the terms of IP usage and commercialization. Government and Policy Frameworks. The chapter highlights how national and international policies shape technology transfer activities, providing incentives like tax benefits or grants to encourage the commercialization of research. Chapter 8 thoroughly addresses how intellectual property licensing and technology transfer are integral to leveraging innovations for economic and developmental benefits. By understanding the detailed frameworks and legal considerations presented, readers are equipped to navigate the complex landscape of IP management. This knowledge is crucial not only for passing the Bar Exam but also for practical application in legal practice, ensuring professionals can adeptly handle IP in a variety of contexts. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/support

Chapter 7 delves into the complexities of international intellectual property (IP) law, exploring the framework of international treaties and conventions, the challenges associated with cross-border enforcement, the roles played by global organizations like the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), and provides case studies that illustrate these dynamics in action. International Treaties and Conventions International treaties and conventions provide a foundational framework for the protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights across national borders. These agreements aim to harmonize the protection of intellectual property worldwide, making it easier for countries to cooperate and for rights holders to secure and enforce their rights internationally. Key International Treaties include: The Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property (1883): One of the first intellectual property treaties, establishing important principles such as national treatment, right of priority, and independence of patents granted in different countries. The Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works (1886): Establishes protections for creators of literary and artistic works, ensuring they receive rights in all signatory countries as they do in their own. The Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) (1970): Streamlines the filing of patents in multiple countries by allowing for a single "international" patent application. The Madrid System for the International Registration of Marks: Facilitates the registration of trademarks in multiple jurisdictions around the world through a single application. The Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) (1994): Administered by the World Trade Organization (WTO), TRIPS sets down minimum standards for many forms of intellectual property regulation that WTO members must comply with. Cross-border Enforcement Challenges Enforcing IP rights across national borders presents significant challenges. Differences in national laws, the resources available for enforcement, and the political and economic climate can all impact the effectiveness of IP protection internationally. Challenges include: Variability in Legal Frameworks: Even with international treaties, countries implement and interpret intellectual property laws differently, leading to inconsistencies that can complicate enforcement. Jurisdictional Issues: Determining which country's laws apply, and where legal action should be taken, can be complex and hinder the efficiency of enforcement actions. Counterfeiting and Piracy: These issues are particularly rampant in countries with less stringent enforcement of IP laws, making it difficult for rights holders to protect their interests. Role of WIPO and Other International Organizations WIPO plays a critical role in the international intellectual property system. As a specialized agency of the United Nations, WIPO facilitates international cooperation in the creation and protection of intellectual property. It administers several international treaties, offers dispute resolution services, and helps developing countries build their capacity to use intellectual property for economic development. Other significant organizations include: World Trade Organization (WTO): Manages the TRIPS agreement which affects how intellectual property is handled in trade agreements between member states. European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) and similar regional bodies: Manage trademarks and designs within their respective regions, facilitating simpler processes for registration and enforcement across multiple countries. Case Studies of International IP Disputes Apple Inc. vs. Samsung Electronics Co.: This series of ongoing legal battles across multiple countries highlights issues with patent infringement and showcases how multinational companies protect their IP across different legal systems. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/support

Trade Secrets In Chapter 4 of our Intellectual Property Law lecture series, we explored the concept of trade secrets, a crucial form of intellectual property that protects sensitive business information which can give a company a competitive advantage. This chapter discussed the definition, key features, legal protection strategies, and the challenges involved in safeguarding trade secrets. Definition and Scope of Trade Secrets A trade secret encompasses any form of knowledge or information that is: Not generally known or readily accessible to the relevant business circles or the public. Derives economic value from its secrecy (the information provides a competitive advantage). Subject to reasonable steps taken by the rightful holder of the information to keep it secret, including the use of confidentiality agreements. The types of information that can qualify as trade secrets are broad and varied, including formulas, manufacturing processes, designs, instruments, patterns, and even lists of suppliers and clients. Duration of Protection Trade secrets are unique among intellectual property rights in that they do not expire as long as the information remains confidential and continues to meet the criteria for trade secret protection. This indefinite duration can provide significant advantages to businesses, offering long-term protection without the need for renewal processes associated with patents and trademarks. Key Features of Trade Secrets No Registration Required: Unlike patents and trademarks, trade secrets do not require registration for protection. This absence of formal registration can be advantageous, avoiding disclosure of the secret to the public and reducing compliance costs. Protection Through Secrecy: The protection of trade secrets is inherently tied to their secrecy. Businesses must implement reasonable security measures to protect such information. This can include physical security measures, digital security practices, and legal instruments like non-disclosure agreements (NDAs). Legal Frameworks: Various national laws and international agreements provide a framework for the protection of trade secrets. In the United States, for instance, the Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA) provides a federal cause of action for trade secret theft. Enforcement and Legal Remedies Enforcement of trade secrets primarily occurs through civil legal actions. If a trade secret is misappropriated, the owner can seek: Injunctive Relief: To prevent further disclosure and use of the trade secret. Monetary Damages: Compensation for economic harm caused by the breach, which might include actual losses and unjust enrichment damages. Exemplary Damages: In cases of willful and malicious misappropriation, courts may award punitive damages. Challenges in Protecting Trade Secrets Protecting trade secrets presents several challenges: Internal Threats: Employees, who are typically the primary handlers of sensitive information, can become potential sources of trade secret leaks. External Threats: Industrial espionage, hacking, and other forms of cyber theft pose significant risks. Global Challenges: In a globalized economy, protecting trade secrets across jurisdictions can be complex due to varying legal protections and enforcement mechanisms. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/support

“Be sure that you instill in your children and your children's children the fact that farming is not the problem, it is the answer.” —Steve McDaniel   Biological threats due to the worsening effects of climate change pose significant risks to both the environment and human health. Decontaminating these threats proficiently can be challenging due to their varied nature, persistence, and potential for dispersal. Fortunately, key developments in the field of bioengineering have led to the development of innovative solutions focused on solving this particular problem.  In the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks in 2001, Reactive Surfaces Founder, Steve McDaniel pondered the possibility of an enzyme that could neutralize organophosphorus pesticides and detoxify organophosphorus nerve weapons. His research found that when this enzyme was captured and stabilized in a coating system, it effectively countered nerve weapons and maintained its functionality for extended periods. This led to the creation of a bioengineered additive that continually and consistently decontaminates chemical and biological threat agents. Today, Reactive Surfaces is recognized globally as a pioneer in leveraging advanced bio-engineering to enhance the functionality of paints and coatings.  Join in as Justine and Steve propose a more efficient, nature-based solution to decontamination. They also discuss the vital part played by farmers in addressing global challenges, nature's power in combating environmental issues, agriculture's role as a solution rather than a contributor to climate change, and how Steve plans to scale and boost the impact of bioengineering solutions.   Meet Steve:  Steve McDaniel, Ph.D., is the founder and Chief Innovation Officer of the award-winning paint and coatings company, Reactive Surfaces, an innovation company operating in the paint, coatings, and specialty chemicals industries for the past 20 years. His technical expertise includes organic chemistry, polymer chemistry, biochemistry, and molecular biology.
