The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC), long a favored forum for patent infringement disputes, has recently come under fire for duplicating the functions of the federal courts where patents disputes – often the same ones that are before the ITC – are litigated. In this panel, Professors Jorge L. Contreras, Michael Doane, and F. Scott Kieff will discuss the pros and cons of the ITC's patent jurisdiction and whether any changes are warranted in light of technology markets that are increasingly global in scope.Featuring:Prof. Jorge L.

In this episode, Jorge L. Contreras, Professor of Law at the University of Utah S.J. Quinney College of Law, discusses his draft article "Sui-Genericide." Contreras begins by explaining the difference between trademarks and generic terms, and how generic terms relate to the public domain in copyright and patent. He discusses how "genericide" can turn strong trademarks into generic terms. But he observes that sometimes market participants want certain terms to be generic, even though they could qualify as trademarks, which he calls "sui-genericide." He explains why sui-genericide can be beneficial and how it may come into conflict with trademark doctrine. And he reflects on what sui-genericide can tell us about the concept of generic terms.

On October 6, 2016, the Federal Trade Commission released the long-awaited results of its 6(b) study on patent assertion entities (PAEs). The study provides detailed information about the litigation and licensing activities by the approximately twenty companies the FTC ordered to submit data. The study does more than just describe this data, though. Given that PAEs' function in the innovation industries, the FTC also proposed a number of legislative and judicial recommendations concerning how patents are asserted against alleged infringers. Thus, the FTC's PAE study is an important part of the policy debates about patents, patent licensing, patent litigation, and the impact these have on the innovation economy. In this Teleforum, the panelists discussed the study findings and their reactions to the study and its policy proposals. -- Featuring: Prof. Jorge L. Contreras, Associate Professor, S.J.
