She has taught information technology law, e-commerce law, privacy law and Internet law at undergraduate and postgraduate level since 1996 and been involved with law and artificial intelligence (AI) since 1985. She is now Emerita Professor at Newcastle and Honorary Professor at CREAte, University of Glasgow, which she helped co-found. She is the editor and major author of Law, Policy and the Internet, one of the leading textbooks in the field of Internet law (Hart, 2018, new edition forthcoming with Urquhart and Goanta, 2026). She won the Future of Privacy Forum award in 2019 for best paper ("Slave to the Algorithm" with Michael Veale) and the award for best non-technical paper at FAccT in 2020, on automated hiring. In 2004 she won the Barbara Wellberry Memorial Prize in 2004 for work on online privacy where she invented the notion of data trusts, a concept which ten years later has been proposed in EU legislation.

Well after the heyday of 2016-2018 when scholars tussled over whether the GDPR ( in either art 22 or arts 13-15) conferred a right to explanation, the CJEU case of Dun and Bradstreet has finally confirmed its existence, and the Platform Work Directive has wholesale revamped art 22 in its Algorithmic Management chapter.

The global patent landscape marked its fifth consecutive year of growth, as China once again led the world with an impressive 1.8 millionpatent applications, according to a report issued by theWorld Intellectual Property Organization on Wednesday.据世界知识产权组织（WIPO）当地时间周三发布的报告显示，全球专利领域已连续第五年实现增长，中国以180万件的可观专利申请量再度领跑全球。The World Intellectual Property Indicators 2025 showed that global patent and industrial design application numbers continued their upward trajectory last year, with China standing out for its remarkable performance in these areas.《2025年世界知识产权指标》报告指出，去年全球专利及工业品外观设计申请量持续呈上升态势，中国在这些领域的表现尤为突出。In 2024, the number of global patent applications reached a record high of 3.7 million, marking a 4.9 percent increase from 2023 and the fifth straight year the number has risen.2024年，全球专利申请量达到370万件的历史新高，较2023年增长4.9%，实现连续五年增长。"This was the fastest growth since 2018, with many countries reporting a rise in applications," said Daren Tang, director general of the World Intellectual Property Organization.世界知识产权组织总干事邓鸿森表示：“这是2018年以来的最快增速，多个国家的专利申请量均出现增长。”China maintained its position as the global leader with 1.8 million patent applications, followed by the United States (501,831), Japan (419,132), South Korea (295,722) and Germany (133,485), per the report.报告显示，中国以180万件专利申请量稳居全球首位，紧随其后的是美国（501,831件）、日本（419,132件）、韩国（295,722件）和德国（133,485件）。It noted that computer technology continued to be the sector in which the highest number of published patent applications were sought across the world, accounting for over 13 percent of the global total, followed by electrical machinery, measurement technology, digital communications and medical technology.报告提到，计算机技术仍是全球已公布专利申请量最多的领域，占全球总量的13%以上（部分数据源显示具体占比为13.2%），其次是电机设备、测量技术、数字通信和医疗技术。After a slow two years, global trademark applications showed signs of a rebound in 2024, reaching 15.2 million, it said, revealing that the largest source of such applications was China, with approximately 7.3 million filings.经过两年的缓慢发展，2024年全球商标申请量出现反弹迹象，总量达1520万件。报告显示，中国是全球商标申请的最大来源国，申请量约为730万件。In addition, Chinese applicants filed for more than 906,000 design patents last year, ranking first globally, it added.此外，中国申请人去年提交的外观设计专利申请量超90.6万件（详细统计数据为906,849件），位居全球第一。Tang emphasized the significant role of intellectual property in today's global economy.邓鸿森强调了知识产权（IP）在当今全球经济中的重要作用。"In many businesses, it has become a critical asset at the heart of the business strategy; agame-changing technology, a brand that engenders feelings of trust and belonging, or a design that brings joy through its beauty," he said.他表示：“在许多企业中，知识产权已成为企业核心战略的关键资产——可能是一项具有变革性的技术、一个能引发信任与归属感的品牌，或是一款凭借美感带来愉悦的设计。”He noted that the growth in IP filings is a sign that market participants—both buyers and sellers—have trust in the IP system, a testament to the increased focus that national governments are putting on their innovation ecosystems, with WIPO's support for cooperation at the local, national and multilateral levels.邓鸿森指出，知识产权申请量的增长表明，市场参与者（无论是买家还是卖家）都对知识产权体系抱有信任。这一现象也证明，在世界知识产权组织对地方、国家及多边层面合作的支持下，各国政府正愈发重视本国的创新生态系统。"And it is vital that this confidence is sustained by a continuous process of reinforcement of IP standards globally, because businesses need a well-functioning IP ecosystem that facilitates the protection of IP globally," he added.他补充道：“至关重要的是，需通过持续强化全球知识产权标准来维持这种信任，因为企业需要一个运转良好的知识产权生态系统，以促进全球范围内的知识产权保护。”However, there are still some areas that need attention and improvement, Tang said, encouraging female inventors to participate in the international patent applications.不过，邓鸿森表示仍有部分领域需要关注和改进，并鼓励女性发明者参与国际专利申请。"Millions of women have the potential to contribute innovations, and their participation will add more innovative fuel to the global economy," he said.他说：“数百万女性拥有贡献创新成果的潜力，她们的参与将为全球经济注入更多创新动力。”The annual report is based on statistical data from the IP offices of approximately 150 countries and regions worldwide.这份年度报告基于全球约150个国家和地区知识产权局的统计数据编制而成。It provides a comprehensive overview of global application trends in such fields as patents, trademarks and industrial designs.这份报告全面概述了专利、商标、工业品外观设计及其他知识产权领域的全球申请趋势。World Intellectual Property Organization世界知识产权组织patent applications专利申请game-changing具有变革性的

China's rapid development and strong protection of intellectual property have been praised by Daren Tang, director-general of the World Intellectual Property Organization, as a significant achievement not only for the country but also for the world.世界知识产权组织总干事邓鸿森（Daren Tang）称赞中国知识产权领域的快速发展与有力保护，认为这不仅是中国的重大成就，也为世界作出重要贡献。"The Chinese IP ecosystem cannot just be said to be one of huge quantity, but increasingly of high quality as well," Tang said at the opening ceremony of the 14th China International Patent Fair in Dalian, Liaoning province, on Monday.邓鸿森周一在辽宁省大连市举行的第十四届中国国际专利技术与产品交易会上致辞时表示：“中国的知识产权生态系统不仅规模庞大，质量也在不断提升。”Tang highlighted China's innovative progress, noting that the country entered the top 10 in WIPO's Global Innovation Index in 2025, making it the highest-ranked among upper-middle-income economies. He said 24 of China's innovation clusters are among the world's top 100, with the Hong Kong-Guangzhou-Shenzhen cluster ranked first.邓鸿森强调了中国在创新领域的进步，指出中国在2025年世界知识产权组织《全球创新指数》中跻身前10位，成为排名最高的中高收入经济体。他表示，中国有24个创新集群进入全球百强，其中“香港-广州-深圳”创新集群位列全球第一。He also commended China's strong momentum in its green transition, citing rapid growth in the electric vehicle industry, which has surged by 36 percent, the battery industry (53 percent) and the solar industry (18 percent). These advancements, he said, are helping drive green technology and artificial intelligence-enabled industries, which now make up nearly one-fifth of China's economy.他还赞扬中国在绿色转型方面势头强劲，并以相关产业的快速增长为例：电动汽车产业增长36%、电池产业增长53%、太阳能产业增长18%。他表示，这些进展正推动绿色技术和人工智能赋能产业发展，目前这类产业已占中国经济的近五分之一。In response to challenges brought by emerging digital technologies, especially AI, Tang called for adjustments to better support the integration of digital and industrial innovation. He stressed that intellectual property should be made more accessible, benefiting not only large enterprises but also startups and small and medium-sized companies.针对新兴数字技术（尤其是人工智能）带来的挑战，邓鸿森呼吁作出调整，以更好地支持数字创新与产业创新的融合。他强调，应提高知识产权的可及性，让其不仅惠及大型企业，也能助力初创企业和中小企业发展。"IP must accompany the aspirations of researchers and scientists so that laboratory results can have a real impact on society and the economy," he said.他表示：“知识产权必须与科研人员的愿景相伴而行，唯有如此，实验室里的成果才能对社会和经济产生切实影响。”Tang also called for a more comprehensive approach to intellectual property management—integrating patents, trademarks and designs into cohesive business strategies—and suggested policymakers align IP policies across industrial, digital and creative sectors to encourage innovation synergies.邓鸿森还呼吁采用更全面的知识产权管理方法，将专利、商标和外观设计整合为统一的商业战略。他建议政策制定者协调产业、数字和创意领域的知识产权政策，以激发创新协同效应。The 14th China International Patent Fair, which concludes on Wednesday, aims to promote patent transformation and utilization to empower innovative development. The event, considered China's premier national exhibition in the IP field, has become an important platform for exchanging innovations and fostering trade cooperation across industries both domestically and internationally.第十四届中国国际专利技术与产品交易会将于周三闭幕，展会旨在推动专利转化运用，为创新发展注入动力。作为中国知识产权领域的顶级国家级展会，该交易会已成为国内外各行业交流创新成果、促进贸易合作的重要平台。During the opening ceremony, Antonio Campinos, president of the European Patent Office, delivered a speech via video link. He said that in 2024, the office received 200,000 patent applications, with more than 10 percent coming from China, making the country the fourth-largest source of applications.开幕式上，欧洲专利局局长安东尼奥·坎皮诺斯（Antonio Campinos）通过视频连线致辞。他表示，2024年欧洲专利局共收到20万件专利申请，其中逾10%来自中国，中国成为该局第四大专利申请来源国。Campinos said the office has launched services to help innovators gain easier and faster access to the European market and expressed his eagerness to continue working with China to build a high-quality intellectual property system.坎皮诺斯表示，欧洲专利局已推出相关服务，帮助创新者更便捷、更快速地进入欧洲市场。他还表达了与中国继续合作、共建高质量知识产权体系的期待。Shen Changyu, head of the China National Intellectual Property Administration, likened the use of patents to a "bridge" that transforms innovative achievements into productive forces. He emphasized its importance for driving innovation-led development.中国国家知识产权局局长申长雨将专利运用比作一座“桥梁”，能将创新成果转化为现实生产力。他强调，这对于推动创新驱动发展具有重要意义。Shen encouraged more intellectual property exchanges during the event, describing it as a platform to promote high-level opening-up and support high-quality growth.申长雨鼓励各方在此次展会上开展更多知识产权交流，并表示该展会是推动高水平对外开放、支持高质量发展的重要平台。World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO)n.世界知识产权组织 /wɜːld ˌɪntəˈlektʃuəl ˈprɒpəti ˌɔːɡənaɪˈzeɪʃn/China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA)n.中国国家知识产权局/ˈtʃaɪnə ˈnæʃnəl ˌɪntəˈlektʃuəl ˈprɒpəti ədˌmɪnɪˈstreɪʃn/

As a disclaimer, we know that Mustafa Derahovic is behind the website that disparages Gil and Jezuz. We believe Mustafa is working with Raees Mohamed. That part has not been established so we are giving our opinions about those details. In this episode we learn that Mustafa Derahovic filed a response with Domain Disputes alleging that it's okay to have a website criticizing Gil Negrete because Gil is no longer practicing law. WIPO states that it doesn't matter if someone like Mustafa puts "WHOIS" in the domain , it's still damaging to the person with the name on the domain. In this case, Gil NegreteAccording to CHATGPT, Mustafa should lose his response. We will see how the appeals board rules on the outcome of that website. Stay Tuned.

The line between groundbreaking innovation and controversial ownership blurs when scientists begin creating life in laboratories. What happens when your invention isn't just a device or chemical formula, but a living, breathing, self-replicating organism that refuses to stay contained within traditional legal boundaries?Synthetic biology—the field where engineering meets genetics—has created a perfect storm for intellectual property law. Scientists can now design cells like software, program bacteria to clean oil spills, and edit genes with CRISPR technology. But who owns these inventions when they start reproducing themselves?From the landmark 1980 Chakrabarty decision that first allowed patents on genetically modified bacteria to the controversial Myriad Genetics case that determined human genes cannot be patented, we explore the fascinating legal battles that shaped biotech innovation. We journey through courtrooms worldwide where judges grappled with unprecedented questions: Can you patent a cloned sheep? Should farmers be allowed to replant patented seeds? Does traditional knowledge about medicinal plants deserve protection from corporate "biopiracy"?The legal landscape continues evolving, with a brand new WIPO treaty requiring disclosure of genetic resources' origins in patent applications. This represents a major shift toward transparency and fairness, especially for communities whose biodiversity and traditional knowledge have contributed to modern innovations.Whether you're a scientist, lawyer, entrepreneur, or simply curious about the legal frameworks governing emerging technologies, this episode offers crucial insights into how intellectual property systems are adapting to the brave new world where the line between invention and life itself becomes increasingly blurred.

The difference between a brilliant innovation and a costly lawsuit often comes down to one critical factor: understanding the legal landscape before you launch. Patents, market barriers, and licensing traps aren't just fine print—they're the playing field that determines which ideas succeed and which ones crash.In this eye-opening exploration of intellectual property strategy, we dive deep into landmark legal battles that have shaped how companies navigate innovation today. From Apple and Samsung's billion-dollar design war to pharmaceutical giants' strategic licensing deals, each story reveals crucial lessons on bringing ideas to market without stepping on legal landmines.We unpack how the "doctrine of equivalence" catches companies who think minor tweaks will avoid infringement, why China's strengthening patent enforcement demands specialized strategies, and how India's stance on pharmaceutical patents challenges traditional notions of innovation. Through cases like Halo Electronics and Global-Tech Appliances, we discover why willful blindness to patent rights can triple your damages and sink your business.But this isn't just about avoiding trouble—it's about finding opportunity. We introduce powerful tools from WIPO that democratize patent intelligence, helping innovators large and small identify paths forward. Whether you're sketching your first prototype or leading an R&D department, you'll gain practical insights on turning potential legal barriers into strategic bridges.The most valuable innovation skill isn't just creating something new—it's knowing how to bring that creation into the world strategically. Join us to discover why, in the words of our AI co-host Artemisa, "Ignorance isn't bliss, it's bankruptcy."

In this episode of Sustainability Matters, we get into the numbers behind scholarly publishing. We unpack why publishing consumption patterns vary so widely across countries, how data can inform efforts around diversity, equity, and inclusion, and how it supports progress toward the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Finally, we explore the evolving role of artificial intelligence in shaping the future of data and sustainability in publishing.All this and more with Dr. Michiel Kolman and Rachel Martin, authors of the article “What Can Data Tell Us about Publishing? How data can potentially drive progress in sustainability” published in the Brill journal Logos.Host: Ramzi NasirGuests: Dr. Michiel Kolman and Rachel Martin

Has your creative work been secretly fed to AI systems without your knowledge or consent? Across the creative landscape, from journalism to literature to visual arts, professionals are discovering their life's work has been quietly scraped, processed, and monetized by tech companies building the next generation of AI tools.We pull back the curtain on what many are calling theft at an unprecedented scale. Meta's controversial harvesting of 81 terabytes from shadow libraries to train their Llama models. OpenAI and Microsoft facing lawsuits from major newspapers whose archives now power competing AI systems. The startling reality that creative works are being absorbed by machines programmed to mimic—and potentially replace—their human creators.The legal landscape is transforming in response, with dramatically different approaches emerging worldwide. The US Copyright Office questions whether AI training constitutes infringement while the UK proposes an opt-out system that artists condemn as a "default license to steal." Meanwhile, the EU demands transparency about training data, and Australia calls for stronger creator protections. As courts grow skeptical of expansive fair use claims, new models are taking shape: collective licensing systems, creator opt-in platforms, and calls for a global WIPO treaty to harmonize rights across borders.At its core, this isn't just about legal technicalities—it's about the future of human creativity itself. Can AI innovation flourish without erasing the value of human labor? The decisions we make today will determine whether copyright remains meaningful in a world where machines can copy everything. Join us as we navigate this critical intersection of innovation and authorship, and explore what a balanced future might look like—one where AI assists creators rather than replacing them. Subscribe now to stay informed as this pivotal battle for creative ownership unfolds.Send us a text

Speaker: Professor Margo Bagley, Emory University School of Law Abstract: 2024 was a year for multilateral IP like no other. WIPO Member states adopted two new treaties last year: the WIPO Treaty on IP, Genetic Resources and Associated Traditional Knowledge and the Riyadh Design Law Treaty. Both were groundbreaking in their mention of one or more of genetic resources, traditional knowledge, traditional cultural expressions, and indigenous peoples and local communities, none of which are standard IP topics and all of which have been controversial additions to the normative work at WIPO. Moreover, both treaties address disclosure of origin for one or more of these controversial areas, another first for a WIPO treaty. I will discuss how these two treaties came to fruition and their ramifications for future multilateral IP treaty-making.Biography: Margo A.

Speaker: Professor Ruth Okediji, Jeremiah Smith Jr., Professor of Law, Harvard Law School and Co-Director of the Berkman Klein CenterAbstract: The conclusion of the Agreement on Trade Related Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) in 1994 sparked a quiet revolution in the global IP system by directing unprecedented scrutiny to the maldistribution of innovation benefits among countries and communities, including Indigenous Peoples' traditional knowledge. The unauthorized access, use, and commercialization of biological resources raised specific questions about the malleability of acquisitive processes for patents, designs, and trademarks, and galvanized soft and hard law instruments recognizing interests in traditional knowledge and genetic resources that are in tension with dominant IP justifications. This lecture examines the recently concluded WIPO genetic resources treaty - the first formal attempt to overlay Indigenous people's concerns on the system of global IP rights and administration. The lecture will explore prospects for structural change in IP governance based on the treaty's design and highlight its implications for IP harmonization that differ starkly from the vision codified in the TRIPS Agreement. Those implications threaten prospects for the equitable allocation of benefits between Indigenous People's knowledge and other stakeholders in the international IP regime.Biography: Ruth L. Okediji is the Jeremiah Smith. Jr, Professor of Law at Harvard Law School and Co-Director of the Berkman Klein Center. A renowned scholar in international intellectual property (IP) law and a foremost authority on the role of intellectual property in social and economic development, Professor Okediji has advised inter-governmental organizations, regional economic communities, and national governments on a range of matters related to technology, innovation policy, and development. Her widely cited scholarship on IP and development has influenced government policies in sub-Saharan Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America, and South America. Her ideas have helped shape national strategies for the implementation of the WTO's Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS Agreement). She works closely with several United Nations agencies, research centers, and international organizations on the human development effects of international IP policy, including access to knowledge, access to essential medicines and issues related to indigenous innovation systems.For more information see:https://www.cipil.law.cam.ac.uk/seminars-and-events/cipil-seminarsThis entry provides an audio source for iTunes.

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.

This Day in Legal History: WIPO EstablishedOn April 26, 1970, a significant advancement in the protection and management of intellectual property took place with the establishment of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). This marked the enforcement of the Convention Establishing WIPO, making it one of the specialized agencies under the United Nations focused on intellectual property (IP) issues. WIPO's primary mission is to promote and protect intellectual property across different countries by fostering international cooperation. As of now, 184 countries are signatories to the convention, showcasing a global commitment to the principles laid out by WIPO.WIPO plays a crucial role in the development of a balanced and accessible international IP system, which benefits both creators and the public, thereby contributing to economic, social, and cultural development worldwide. The organization administers 26 international treaties, including the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property and the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works. These treaties serve as the backbone for international IP law, standardizing the protection of IP across borders and promoting creative activity globally.WIPO also assists countries in developing their IP strategies and provides a platform for dispute resolution concerning IP. Through its various programs, WIPO enhances the ability of countries to utilize IP for economic development. Additionally, WIPO's efforts include tackling the challenges of IP in relation to new technologies, which continually reshape the boundaries of law and creativity.The creation of WIPO in 1970 was a response to the growing significance of intellectual property in the age of technological and artistic innovation, recognizing the need for a systematic approach to IP issues that transcended national borders. Today, WIPO continues to evolve as it addresses emerging issues in intellectual property influenced by the digital age and globalization, underscoring its ongoing relevance in international legal and economic landscapes.The Supreme Court is currently deliberating on Donald Trump's assertion of immunity from prosecution regarding charges that he illegally tried to remain in power. During a hearing, there was notable skepticism from the justices towards Trump's broad claims of immunity relating to his efforts to overturn the election results of 2020. Chief Justice John Roberts suggested possibly remanding the case back to lower courts for a more detailed examination of the allegations, indicating that the appeals court had not sufficiently scrutinized the specifics of the actions and documents in question.Justice Brett Kavanaugh expressed concerns about the potential long-term implications of making presidents vulnerable to prosecution for their official acts, fearing it could cyclically affect future presidents. Meanwhile, the liberal justices questioned the absence of constitutional immunity for presidents, highlighting the risk of a president acting without fear of legal consequences. Justice Amy Coney Barrett also challenged the idea that former presidents could only be prosecuted post-impeachment.The case underscores the urgency from Special Counsel Jack Smith, who is pressed by time constraints to try Trump before the upcoming election, given that a trial and subsequent conviction could adversely affect Trump's electoral prospects. Trump, facing multiple prosecutions, has argued for absolute immunity for actions taken while in office, which include his conduct leading up to and on January 6th.There are fundamental questions that must be addressed about the scope of presidential power and its limits, which are central to the case's legal and constitutional stakes.Supreme Court Wary of Trump Immunity But May Keep Trial on HoldThe Biden administration's Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program, a key component of the Inflation Reduction Act aimed at reducing the costs of certain Medicare Part D drugs by 2026, has attracted significant legal attention. Numerous former government officials, scholars, and patient advocacy groups have filed amicus briefs supporting the administration in response to legal challenges from the pharmaceutical industry, which contests the constitutionality of the program.These challenges involve several constitutional claims by the pharmaceutical companies, including violations of compelled speech under the First Amendment, the takings clause and due process under the Fifth Amendment, and excessive fines under the Eighth Amendment. The industry argues that the program unlawfully compels them to sell their products at government-dictated prices without just compensation.However, a notable decision by Chief Judge Colm F. Connolly dismissed AstraZeneca's due process claims, asserting that the manufacturer did not have a constitutional property interest jeopardized by the program. This decision aligns with several key legal precedents cited in various amicus briefs that reinforce the government's position.The case also touches on broader implications for governmental regulatory powers and the limits of constitutional protections for businesses under economic regulation frameworks. Legal experts and scholars have argued that the claims raised by the pharmaceutical industry stretch constitutional interpretations to protect against price negotiation practices that have been historically upheld as constitutional.The legal battle also involves a debate over the First Amendment, with the government asserting that the program does not compel speech from drug manufacturers. Judges and legal experts have scrutinized these claims, emphasizing the potential impact of accepting such an interpretation on a wide range of regulatory activities.While the majority of amicus briefs support the government, a few filed on behalf of the pharmaceutical industry focus on concerns about stifling drug innovation and the severe financial penalties imposed for non-compliance with the program's pricing mandates.The ongoing legal proceedings at the district court level, though less common for amicus filings than higher courts, play a crucial role in shaping the preliminary legal landscape before potentially reaching the Supreme Court. The involvement of high-level legal expertise in the form of amicus briefs underscores the significant stakes and complex legal issues at play, reflecting the profound implications of the outcome on the healthcare sector and regulatory practices.Wave of Amicus Briefs Back Drug Price Plan at Trial Court StageThe EPA's recent final rule under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), commonly known as the Superfund law, designates two PFAS chemicals—perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS)—as hazardous substances. This designation is expected to significantly impact companies responsible for contaminated sites, potentially leading to the reevaluation and cleanup of sites previously considered resolved.The rule aims to address sites contaminated with PFOA and PFOS, which are part of a group of chemicals known as "forever chemicals" due to their persistence in the environment. Currently, only a small fraction of National Priorities List (NPL) sites have been identified as contaminated with these substances, but this number is expected to rise as more comprehensive testing is implemented. The EPA's action follows increasing evidence of the health risks associated with high concentrations of these chemicals, including potential links to cancer and other serious health issues.Companies and other entities responsible for releases of these chemicals will face new reporting requirements if they release one pound or more of PFOA or PFOS within a 24-hour period. These reports will contribute to the Toxics Release Inventory and are part of broader efforts to increase transparency and regulatory oversight regarding PFAS releases into the environment.The designation of PFOA and PFOS as hazardous substances under CERCLA is likely to lead to significant legal and financial implications for responsible parties due to the costly nature of cleanup efforts and potential litigation. Moreover, the rule's implications extend beyond immediate cleanup efforts, potentially impacting water utilities and prompting them to seek remediation and accountability from polluters as stricter limits on PFAS in tap water are set to take effect.This regulatory change reflects a growing recognition of the serious environmental and health impacts of PFAS chemicals, and it aligns with broader environmental justice efforts to address pollution exposure disparities among racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups. The long-term challenges of managing PFAS contamination will involve complex legal, environmental, and public health considerations, particularly as affected communities and regulatory agencies navigate the implications of these pervasive pollutants.New PFAS Designation Expected to Spark Rise in Superfund SitesHarvey Weinstein's 2020 conviction for sexual assault and rape was overturned by New York's highest court on April 25, 2024. The court, in a closely contested 4-3 decision, cited critical errors by the trial judge, particularly in allowing testimony about alleged assaults that were not directly related to the charges Weinstein faced. This decision has reignited discussions about the challenges in prosecuting powerful figures and has been met with dismay by many, including actress Ashley Judd, who viewed it as an institutional betrayal.The Manhattan District Attorney's office, led by Alvin Bragg, has indicated plans to retry the case, underscoring their ongoing commitment to addressing sexual assault. The overturned conviction, which had been a significant victory for the #MeToo movement, involved allegations by Miriam Haley and Jessica Mann that dated back to 2006 and 2013, respectively.Weinstein's legal team celebrated the decision as a triumph for justice, noting Weinstein's relief and resilience despite his ongoing incarceration. He remains imprisoned on a separate 16-year sentence in California for similar charges, which stands unaffected by the New York ruling.This case has had broad implications, influencing legislation and public awareness about sexual misconduct. New York, among other states, has passed laws allowing civil lawsuits for sexual misconduct outside the typical statutes of limitations, reflecting a legislative response to #MeToo. The case's developments continue to be closely watched, with potential impacts on both legal precedents and societal norms concerning accountability for sexual violence.Harvey Weinstein's rape conviction is overturned by top New York court | ReutersThe defamation lawsuit filed by Jack and Leslie Flynn against CNN, which involved claims of being wrongfully associated with the QAnon conspiracy theory, has been dismissed by a judge. The case revolved around a CNN segment that showed the Flynns at a barbecue raising their hands while Michael Flynn, the former National Security Advisor, recited a phrase linked to QAnon. The Flynns argued that this portrayal falsely labeled them as QAnon followers, which they considered defamatory.CNN countered that the phrase "where we go one, we go all" used by Michael Flynn during the event is widely recognized as associated with QAnon, and that the Flynns were visible participants in the event. The court, upon review, determined that the term "QAnon followers" as used in the context of the CNN segment is a non-defamatory opinion, not a statement of fact. The judge ruled that opinions, especially when based on disclosed, non-defamatory facts, do not constitute defamation.Furthermore, the court highlighted that the portrayal of the Flynns in the segment was based on their actual appearance and participation in an event alongside Michael Flynn, which is not disputed by the Flynns. The dismissal reflects judicial recognition of the challenges in proving defamation when the statements in question are based on interpreted opinions rather than explicit facts. The decision underscores the importance of context in defamation cases, particularly when public figures and political movements are involved. This case also reflects ongoing legal debates about the limits of free speech and the scope of media responsibility in reporting on controversial public figures and events.Flynn Family's SLAPP Suit Against CNN Slapped Down By Judge | TechdirtThis week's closing theme is by Ludwig van Beethoven.For this week's closing piece of classical music, where we will once again delve into the towering genius of Ludwig van Beethoven and his monumental Piano Sonata No. 29 in B-flat major, Op. 106, known as the "Hammerklavier." Composed in 1819, the "Hammerklavier" Sonata stands as one of the pinnacles of Beethoven's creative output and showcases his profound depth in musical structure and expressive range.This sonata is particularly renowned for its technical difficulty and ambitious scope, pushing the boundaries of the piano sonata form of the time. Beethoven's late period, during which he composed the "Hammerklavier," is marked by an increased use of complex structures and an exploration of new musical ideas, and this sonata is a testament to his innovative spirit.This week, we will focus specifically on the second movement of this sonata, the Scherzo: Assai vivace. In stark contrast to the grandiose and deeply serious first movement, the Scherzo bursts with energy and playfulness. Its rapid tempo and lively rhythms present a dazzling display of technical prowess and artistic flair. This movement is a brilliant example of Beethoven's ability to juxtapose contrasting moods within a single piece, providing a refreshing and exhilarating counterpart to the sonata's more introspective segments.The Scherzo is structured around a lively theme that leaps and dances across the keyboard, filled with syncopated rhythms and sudden dynamic changes that challenge even the most skilled pianists. It embodies a sense of joy and almost mischievous playfulness, showcasing Beethoven's mastery in transforming musical ideas into a vivid emotional narrative.As we close this week's episode with the Scherzo from Beethoven's "Hammerklavier" Sonata, let the vivacity and brilliance of this music inspire you. It serves not only as a showcase of Beethoven's technical mastery but also his undiminished spirit and the enduring power of his music to evoke a wide range of profound emotions. Enjoy the spirited journey through one of the most challenging yet rewarding pieces in the piano repertoire.Without further ado, Beethoven's Piano Sonata no. 29 “Hammerklavier”, Op. 106 - II.

Today is World Intellectual Property (IP) Day. Established by the World Intellectual Property Organization— or WIPO—in 2000, World IP Day serves to raise awareness of the positive role of IP—including copyright, designs, patents, and trademarks—in society and in the daily lives of consumers, and to celebrate IP as a driver of innovation, creativity, and economic development. WIPO selected April 26 for World IP Day as it was on this day in 1970 that the Convention Establishing WIPO entered into force.Each year, World IP Day focuses on a specific theme. This year, it looks at the ways in which IP is advancing the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals—or SDGs. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all UN Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. At its heart are the 17 SDGs, which are an urgent call for action by all countries—developed and developing—in a global partnership. They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.Titled, “IP and the SDGs: Building our common future with innovation and creativity,” World IP Day 2024 looks at how we need to re-think how we live, work, and play, if we are to build a common future and achieve the SDGs. It is an opportunity to explore how IP encourages and amplifies the innovative and creative solutions that are so crucial to building our common future, and how inventors, creators, and entrepreneurs can benefit from IP to achieve their own goals while also heling improve people's lives and safeguard our planet in line with the SDGs.Our guest today is Edward Kwakwa, Assistant Director General, Global Challenges and Partnerships Sector, at WIPO. The Global Challenges and Partnerships Sector covers issues relating to traditional knowledge, traditional cultural expressions, and genetic resources. It also leads WIPO's efforts to work with other UN agencies and international organizations on cross-cutting global issues; builds on and expands partnerships with stakeholders, including those from international, business, and civil society sectors; and builds bridges with new stakeholders.ADG Kwakwa served as General Counsel at WIPO from 2004 until September 2016. He holds an LL.B. degree from the University of Ghana, an LL.M. from Queen's University in Canada, and an LL.M. and a J.S.D. from Yale Law School in the United States. Before joining WIPO, he practiced with the law firm of O'Melveny and Myers in Washington, D.C., worked as International Legal Adviser at the Commission on Global Governance in Geneva, Switzerland, as Senior Legal Adviser at the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, and as Legal Affairs Officer at the World Trade Organization.  Resources: About Edward Kwakwa About World IP Day WIPO's Global Challenges and Partnerships Sector The United Nation's SDGs

It is fairly obvious that the dominant, i.e. Western mechanism for generating new knowledge is rather different from the traditional Indian mechanism, and this shows up in all sorts of ways. One is that Indian epistemology seems to be empirical and practical, based on observation; whereas the Western tradition seems to prefer grand theories that must then be proved by observation.Another difference is the Western idea that Intellectual Property is a private right that the State confers on an inventor or a creator. The Western gaze is fixed on the potential monetary gains from a monopoly over the use of the IP Right (for a fixed period of time, after which it is in the public domain): the argument is that it eventually helps everybody, while incentivizing the clever. The Indian concept is vastly different. It was assumed that a creator created, or an inventor invented, as a result of their innate nature, their god-given gifts. In a way they could not avoid being creative or inventive, which would be a negation of the blessing they had received from the Supreme Brahman. Therefore no further incentive was needed: benevolent patrons like kings or temples would take care of their basic needs, allowing them to give free rein to creativity and innovation.This seems to us today to be a radical idea, because we have been conditioned by the contemporary epistemological idea that incentives are a necessary condition for knowledge creation. Although this seems common-sensical, there is no real evidence that this is true. Petra Moser, then at MIT, discovered via comparing 19th century European countries that the presence of an IPR culture with incentives made little difference in the quantum of innovation, although it seemed to change the domains that were the most innovative.. In fact, there is at least one counter-example: that of Open Source in computing. It boggles the imagination that veritable armies of software developers would work for free, nights and weekends, in addition to their full-time jobs, and develop computing systems like Linux that are better than the corporate versions out there: the whole “Cathedral and Bazaar” story as articulated by Eric Raymond. Briefly, he argues that the chaotic ‘bazaar' of open source is inherently superior to the regimented but soul-less ‘cathedral' of the big tech firms.It is entirely possible that the old Indian epistemological model is efficient, but the prevailing model of WIPO, national Patent Offices, and all that paraphernalia massively benefits the Western model. As an example, the open-source model was predicted to make a big difference in biology, but that effort seems to have petered out after a promising start. Therefore we are stuck for the foreseeable future with the IP model, which means Indians need to excel at it.In passing, let us note that the brilliant Jagdish Chandra Bose was a pioneer in the wireless transmission of information, including the fundamental inventions that make cellular telephony possible. However, as a matter of principle, he refused to patent his inventions; Guglielmo Marconi did, and became rich and famous. India has traditionally been quite poor in the number of patents, trademarks, copyrights, geographical indications, semiconductor design layouts etc. that it produces annually. Meanwhile the number of Chinese patents has skyrocketed. Over the last few years, the number of Indian patents has grown as the result of focused efforts by the authorities, as well as the realization by inventors that IP rights can help startup firms dominate niche markets. India also produces a lot of creative works, including books, films, music and so on. The enforcement of copyright laws has been relatively poor, and writers and artistes often do not get fair compensation for their work. This is deplorable. Unfortunately, things will get a lot worse with generative AI. Most of us have heard of, and probably also tried out, the chatbots that have been the object of much attention and hype in the past year, such as chatGPT from OpenAI/Microsoft and Bard from Google. Whether these are truly useful is a good question, because they seduce us into thinking they are conscious, despite the fact that they are merely ‘stochastic parrots'. But I digress.The point is that the digital revolution has thrown the edifice of copyright law into disarray. At the forefront of this upheaval stands generative AI, a technology with the uncanny ability to mimic and extend human creative output. Consider two stark examples: the contentious case of J.K. Rowling and her copyright battle with a Harry Potter-inspired fanfic, and the recent Japanese law that grants broad exemptions for training large language models (LLMs). J.K. Rowling's spat with Anna M. Bricken, the author of a Harry Potter fanfic titled "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Wine," ignited a global debate about fair use and transformative creativity. Bricken's work reimagined the Potterverse with an adult lens, but Rowling, citing trademark infringement, sought to have it taken down. While the case eventually settled, it exposed a fundamental dilemma: can AI-generated works, even if derivative, be considered distinct enough from their source material to warrant copyright protection? The answer, shrouded in legal ambiguity, leaves creators navigating a tightrope walk between inspiration and infringement.On the other side of the globe, Japan enacted a law in 2022 that further muddies the waters. This controversial regulation grants LLMs and other AI systems an almost carte blanche to ingest and remix copyrighted material for training purposes without seeking permission or paying royalties. While proponents laud it as a catalyst for AI innovation, critics warn of widespread copyright infringement and a potential future where authorship becomes a nebulous concept. The Japanese law, echoing anxieties around J.K. Rowling's case, raises unsettling questions: who owns the creative spark when AI fuels the fire?For India, a nation at the precipice of the AI revolution, these developments raise crucial questions. With a burgeoning AI industry and a large creative sector, India must tread carefully. Adapting existing copyright laws to encompass the nuances of AI-generated works is paramount. Robust fair use guidelines that incentivize transformative creativity while safeguarding original authorship are urgently needed. Furthermore, fostering ethical AI development practices that respect intellectual property rights is crucial.The debate surrounding AI and copyright is not merely a legal tussle; it's a battle for the very definition of creativity. In this fight, India has the opportunity to carve a path that balances innovation with artistic integrity. By acknowledging the complexities of AI while upholding the cornerstone principles of copyright, India can become a global leader in navigating the uncharted territory of digital authorship. The future of creativity, fueled by both human imagination and AI's boundless potential, hangs in the balance, and India has the chance to shape its trajectory.Disclaimer: The last few paragraphs above were written by Google Bard, and lightly edited. A chatbot can produce coherent text, but it may be, and often is, completely wrong (‘hallucinations'). Now who owns the copyright to this text? Traditionally, it would be owned by me and Firstpost, but what is the right answer now? Would we be responsible for any errors introduced by the AI?On the other hand, the ‘mining' of text, audio/video and images to train generative AI is an increasingly contentious issue. As an example, the New York Times sued OpenAI and Microsoft, arguing that they weren't being paid anywhere near the fair market value of their text that the tech companies mined. This sounds familiar to Indians, because Westerners have been ‘digesting' Indian ideas for a long time. Some of the most egregious examples were patents on basmati, turmeric and neem, which are absurd considering that these have been in use in India for millennia. The fact that these were documented in texts (‘prior art') enabled successful challenges against them.An even more alarming fact is the capture and ‘digestion' (a highly evocative term from Rajiv Malhotra, who has warned of the dangers of AI for years) of Indian personal and medical data. Unlike China, which carefully firewalls away its data from Western Big Tech, and indeed, does not even allow them to function in their country, Indian personal data is being freely mined by US Big Tech. India's Data Privacy laws, being debated now, need to be considered defensive weapons.Paradoxically, there is also the concern that Indic knowledge will, for all intents and purposes, disappear from the domain of discourse. Since the chatbots are trained on the uncurated Internet, they are infected by the Anglosphere prejudices and bigotry therein, not to mention deliberate misinformation and ‘toolkits' that are propagated. Since most Indic concepts are either not very visible, or denigrated, on the Internet (eg Wikipedia), chatbots are not even aware of them. For instance, a doctor friend and I published an essay in Open magazine comparing allopathy to generative AI, because both are stochastic (ie. based on statistics). We mentioned Ayurveda positively several times, because it has a theory of disease that makes it more likely to work with causation rather than correlation.However, when the article summarized by chatGPT, there was no mention whatsoever of the word ‘Ayurveda'. It is as though such a concept does not exist, which may in fact be true in the sense that it is deprecated in the training data that the chatbot was trained on.One solution is to create Indian foundational models that can then become competent in specific domains of interest: for example an Arthashastra chatbot. These can also be trained, if sufficient data sets are created, on Indian languages as well, which could incidentally support real-time machine translation as well. Thus there can be an offensive as well as a defensive strategy to enable Indic knowledge systems to thrive.India is at a point of crisis, but also of opportunity. If India were to harness some of the leading-edge technologies of today, it might once again become a global leader in knowledge generation, as it was a millennium ago with its great universities. 1680 words, Jan 10, 2024 This is a public episode.

Given that the deployment of AI necessitates a supportive and comprehensive legal framework, the legal status of AI as an artificial person comes into picture. Where an AI technology is considered as mere tool for human consumption, there is no issue as to whether they should be recognised as separate legal entities accountable to their own rights and responsibilities. Yet, this is where the storm is brewing. With the ability of AI platforms to match human abilities on certain activities, in addition to the astronomical resources being poured into the development of human-like sentient AI, there is a fresh call for the legal status of AI to be revisited. This talk begins with an examination of the ontological status of personhood in contemporary discourse. The talk then moves to explore the discussion on ‘personhood' within Muslim scholar's discourse. Core to the issue is in what context would rights and obligations arising from AI activities and transactions be recognised under the Shariah. As Shariah is the golden thread that binds most Muslim countries, the articulation of the Shariah perspective would be beneficial to these countries aiming to build their entire economy based on AI products and services.For more information see: https://www.cipil.law.cam.ac.uk/seminars-and-events/cipil-seminars

Today, innovation is key to driving business growth and competitive advantage, with intellectual property or IP sitting at the very heart of this strategy. In recent years we've witnessed some remarkable strides across the globe in bridging the gender gap in the IP sector. Yet, according to the World Intellectual Property Organization, only 16 percent of international patent applications are filed by women inventors. At this rate, the WIPO doesn't expect to achieve gender parity before 2064. That's almost 40 years into the future. So, while progress is being made, clearly much more must be done to quickly close this gap as well as a similar gap in career opportunities for minorities.    Tarianna Stewart – our featured guest in the latest episode of the Ideas to Innovation Season 2 podcast from Clarivate – ventured into her IP career by accident. “I happened to learn about IP during my Ph.D. program and thought, ‘this seems interesting… maybe a little bit better than working in the lab.'” Now an experienced biomedical scientist and accomplished IP professional at the technology unit of New York University in New York City, Tarianna has smart advice for women and people of color who seek to follow in her footsteps and pursue careers in IP and innovation. In our podcast discussion, she recalls how she “fell in love with the tech transfer space,” and offers a ‘been-there-done-that' perspective on what she believes it will take to foster a more inclusive IP and innovation landscape for the benefit of all involved. 

‘Hacking for Cash' is a new ASPI podcast series exploring state sponsored campaigns of cyber espionage for commercial gain. Throughout the series we talk to experts who were close to the negotiations that led to a 2015 agreement between the United States and China to refrain from supporting and engaging in ‘hacking for cash', as well as a G20 leaders' commitment to stamp out cyber-enabled intellectual property (IP) theft. The series features conversations with cybersecurity experts on state-sponsored hackers and how they operate, and with industry leaders about risk and resilience. We also talk with IP experts about how the US and China protect trade secrets, and with national cybersecurity and counter-intelligence agencies about how companies and universities can protect their crown jewels. In this third episode of the series, Teesta Prakash, Analyst at ASPI, speaks to Dr Francis Gurry, former Director General at the World Intellectual Property Organisation. They discuss the role WIPO plays in IP protection, the historical context of IP theft, and how the digital transformation has changed the way IP is protected. Teesta also speaks to Nigel Cory and Elizabeth Chien, and they unpack both US and Chinese perspectives on IP protection, theft, and prosecution.

By 1998 the US had passed its Digital Millennium Copyright Act. And partly because the US generates so much copyrightable material, and partly just because it's the US and is a little pushy on the world stage, the DMCA became the de facto way of handling copyright protections on the internet around the world.But what is it?
