Director’s Note

Welcome to the inaugural issue of our Intellectual Property & Innovation Newsletter. It shares news and achievements by alums, faculty, students, and advisory board members active in intellectual property, technology, and related areas. It also highlights diverse ways the Intellectual Property & Innovation Initiative engaged with stakeholders in the law school and university communities across the nation and abroad.

“Innovation” necessarily transcends intellectual property, technology, and related areas, so this newsletter endeavors to reflect that At the same time, an exhaustive account of “innovation” by the Penn State Dickinson Law community would require more than the fifty pages this newsletter already fills Instead of attempting the impossible, the newsletter invites you to peer deeper and learn about the outstanding work the Dickinson Law community does by checking out the law school’s website, the individual profile pages of my colleagues, social media posts, and other outlets to learn how we aspire to “Practice Greatness” each day.

Dean Danielle Conway and Associate Dean for Research and Innovation Daryl Lim hosted two events featuring Professors Xuan-Thao Nguyen (University of Washington School of Law), Elizabeth Rowe (University of Virginia School of Law), and Peter Yu (Texas A&M University School of Law). The first event was titled,

From Idea to Impact,” and was a moderated discussion with students. The visiting professors provided insight and advice on research and writing, among other topics. The second event of the day, “Research and Innovation Roundtable,” allowed our faculty members to learn more about marketing their scholarship for maximum impact and ask questions on research and innovation.

Lutie A. Lytle Black Women Law Faculty Workshop | Lutie Pennsylvania Collaboration Initiative

Dean Danielle Conway and Associate Dean for Research and Innovation Daryl Lim spearheaded a publication outreach initiative this fall.

The initiative builds on the law school’s role as host of the 17th Annual Lutie A. Lytle Black Women Law Faculty Workshop and Writing Retreat next year. The workshop is named after one of the world’s first Black woman law professors, a daughter of formerly enslaved parents. The workshop has supported current and aspiring Black women law faculty by helping them develop scholarly works, guiding them in attaining academic careers, and providing mentorship.

It has become a tradition for the hosting law school to reserve space for the Lutie law faculty scholarship in a symposium issue. Pennsylvania law schools have pledged to publish Lutie law faculty scholarship in flagship and specialty law reviews across our schools. Dubbed the “Lutie Pennsylvania Collaboration Initiative,” this joint enterprise underscores the remarkable commitment to inclusive scholarship and the bond of collegiality among the faculty, students, and administrators of these law schools.

Dean’s Fellows | Faculty Achievement Initiative

Dean Danielle Conway and Associate Dean for Research and Innovation Daryl Lim launched a Dean's Fellowdriven initiative, where each Dean’s Fellow would have the opportunity to work with each member of our multi-talented faculty and our marketing and communications colleagues to help highlight the law school's impact, including research, service to the community, and partnerships. The students involved in the initiative are as follows: Tianna Anderson, T. Sydney Bergeron, Bethany Carter, Gianna Corpora, Tasneem Elbackush, Alexis Faulkner, Luke Gorman, Rachel James, Mikus Amber Paulino, Romario R. Ricketts, Nathan White.

A National and International Network of Institutional Partners

The IP and Innovation Initiative is pleased to announce its inaugural network of Institutional Partners. They include academic and professional institutions as well as IPWatchdog, the world's largest online intellectual property publication. We are also pleased to partner with the Pennsylvania IP Alliance and its national and international chapters to promote inclusive innovation, IP education, and stakeholder collaboration.

Election to American Law Institute

The American Law Institute (ALI) elected Professor Daryl Lim to its membership in December. Professor Lim’s election brings representation by Penn State Dickinson Law at ALI to four members. The other ALI members are Dean Danielle Conway, Professor William Butler, and Professor of Law Emerita Laurel S. Terry

Formed a century ago, ALI is the leading independent organization in the United States responsible for clarifying, modernizing, and improving the law. It drafts, discusses, revises, and publishes influential Restatements of the Law, Model Codes, and Principles of Law for judges, lawmakers, and scholars. It has been compared to the National Academy of Sciences and is a distinguished network of judges, lawyers, and law professors across the United States and abroad were elected based on demonstrated excellence and outstanding professional achievement in their area of legal expertise. In the coming year, Professor Lim will serve on the Members Consultative Group for The Restatement of the Law, Copyright and may work on other ALI projects.

“As 2022 comes to a close, I am pleased to welcome our final group of new ALI members,” said ALI President David F. Levi. “In 2023, ALI will celebrate its 100th anniversary. We are moving into our second century at a time when the United States is divided by many issues. Many Americans are skeptical of all institutions, including our courts and legal system. This makes our work all the more important, and our new members are essential to that work. Only through the efforts of our talented, diverse, and dedicated membership body can we continue our work protecting and preserving the rule of law. I look forward to our new members joining us in our mission as we look ahead to our second century.”

The ALI elects its members from confidential nominations submitted by ALI members. Among the newly elected ALI members are Professor Asli Ü. Bâli (Yale Law School), Benjamin Gruenstein (Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP), Hon. (ret.) Thomas B. Griffith (Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP), Hon. W. Brent Powell (Supreme Court of Missouri), Hon. Rebeca Aizpuru Huddle (Supreme Court of Texas), Hon. Michael H. Park (U.S. Court of Appeals, Second Circuit), and Professor Jason A. Rantanen (University of Iowa College of Law).

Professor Daryl Lim signed a book deal with Oxford University Press for his forthcoming volume, InfringementinIntellectualPropertyLaw . The book will draw on extensive empirical data, theoretical foundations, and doctrinal insights from US case law to present the latest thinking on IP infringement, covering patents, copyright, trademarks, and design rights. It will present facets of each type of IP right easily overlooked when viewed alone, such as how judges craft standards for judging the infringement of those rights, whether a unified theory of IP infringement is possible, and how AI will enhance, disrupt, or distort the laws on IP infringement. The book’s doctrinal and policy discussion will be relevant to other common law systems in the UK, Australia, Canada, and beyond, given the similarities in infringement law in these countries and the influence of crossborder licensing and other IP-related activity in the U.S.

The Class Action as Licensing and Reform Device with UCLA Law

Professor Xiyin Tang

Through her research, Professor Xiyin Tang offers a novel view of class actions that bridge civil procedure and intellectual property law debates. This view sees class actions as a hybrid public-private licensing scheme and judges as the drivers of legal reform. Besides offering doctrinal and policy perspectives, the podcast will also cover key strategies attorneys can use to craft effective settlement agreements using the GoogleBookscase as a case study.

AI & Frontier Technologies Dr. Ulrike Till

AI is becoming a general-purpose technology that has the potential to not only open a new field of science but to change all aspects of our lives and our economy, transforming our

business models and opening the path to new ways of innovating and creating. Ensuring that our existing IP systems continue to foster innovation in this exciting new era will be key for everyone everywhere to benefit from the potential for economic growth.

However, AI inventions present the current patent system with several challenges. To provide better protection and embrace the full value of patents, it is necessary to have timely, transparent, and accessible standards for patent granting that the market player can fully rely on. In addition, to harness the economic potential of AI, it will be important to understand the uncertainties faced by innovators and for IP Offices to consider how to support AI innovation best. The podcast features Dr. Ulrike Till, the director of the IP and Frontiers Technology Division at the World IP Organization (WIPO).

All I Want for IP in 2023: Kicking off the New Year with the IP Community’s Wildest Dreams (January 2, 2023)

The United States needs a coherent, focused, and long-term national IP strategy. That strategy should cover four key areas: 1) enhancing national security and competitiveness, 2) ensuring how we encourage entrepreneurship and settle disputes remains fit for purpose, 3) fostering inclusive innovation, and 4) building a wellspring of strategic trust and effective means of coordination through coalitions and alliances. To succeed, a national IP strategy will require bipartisan support undergirded by informed decision-making and a détente between groups focused on short-term sectarian interests. IP advocates must engage players whose incentives favor weak IP rights and convince them that undermining those rights cedes a key geostrategic advantage to its foreign rivals. Strong foreign policies begin at home. Like the benefits of free trade and globalization, IP has lost favor with many in the nation that boldly championed them decades ago. Women, racial, and other traditionally neglected groups need to become IP’s

Professor Daryl Lim contributed a series of invited mini-op-eds to IPWatchdog as part of its year-end series of reflections, predictions, and aspirations.

champions, engage in its evolution, and in so doing, help ensure its longevity. The time for a national conversation on how IP can help America remain the leading voice in a multipolar world is now.

What’s in Store for IP in 2023? Here’s What IPWatchdog Readers are Keeping on Their Radar (December 29, 2022)

AI will continue to feature prominently. Tribunals have settled questions of inventorship and authorship. IP will remain a human-centric regime for now. The next phase of litigation will focus on questions of infringement, fair use, and damages. Matthew Butterick’s class action lawsuit against Microsoft, GitHub, OpenAI, and other companies involved in designing Copilot opens the next salvo. Software developers, artists, writers, and privacy activists have complained tech companies training AI systems use data that does not belong to them and do not provide compensation. As UK law firm Bristows noted, the suit will likely involve the following: 1) Have the defendants infringed copyright in software GitHub hosted? 2) Do the license terms included with the code hosted in GitHub prevent the defendants’ use of the code? 3) Do GitHub’s Terms of Service entitle it to use the GitHub code as it has done? The Supreme Court’s decision on artist Andy Warhol’s use of Lynn Goldsmith’s Prince photograph may well influence the contours of when training and output of an AI model are infringing in Butterick’s case. Moreover, its views on the extraterritorial reach of trademark rights may also affect how courts construe damages in AI cases. Watch this space.

The IP News

that Mattered

Most in 2022, According to You (December 19, 2022)

Stakeholders have desired greater coordination and greater grassroots engagement. The United States Intellectual Property Alliance - USIPA and its national and international chapters emerged in response. They rest on three pillars: 1) IP awareness and education, 2) ecosystem collaboration and 3) diversity and inclusion. The Alliances’ goals are as ambitious as they are noble - nothing less than improving the lives of every person on earth using IP through:

• Empowering community colleges, university tech transfer offices, inventors, entrepreneurs, and creators.

• Building a knowledgeable IP workforce by integrating IP training and skills development into K-16, university, and other curricula across the country.

• Establishing effective support structures so all people, especially underrepresented groups, can benefit from a bold reimagining of what IP can offer.

The Alliances seek a more efficient, effective, and collaborative IP ecosystem to help people get what they need faster and at a fair price. They also shun lobbying for legislative change, given its divisiveness. ManagingIPrecognized Scott Frank, who heads the Alliances, as one of the 50 most influential people in IP for his vision and efforts. If the Alliances can rebuild trust in the IP system, strengthen cooperation between skeptical stakeholders, and benefit neglected constituents, it will be a gamechanger.

What IP Stakeholders are Giving Thanks for in 2022 (November 23, 2022)

I’m glad that inclusive innovation has become a watchword in the IP community. Any knowledge-based economy seeking to develop supply chain resilience, social cohesion, and geostrategic leadership must succeed in tapping the talents of its entire population, not just that of a small segment of inventors, creators, and entrepreneurs. I am encouraged and inspired to see local and national initiatives blossoming to engage youths, women, and other underrepresented groups.

In a climate where divides are less about substance than about political motives and identities and where a clash of cultures and anger have replaced truth and reason as the way to settle disputes, we risk forgetting that the American IP system is great, not from victories over each other but by a reconciliation of interests and a unity of purpose. Even as we celebrate this year’s academic scholarship, government programs, and private sector achievements in the inclusive innovation space, we must seize the moment, build on that momentum, and strive for actionable, measurable, and lasting progress.

Convocation | A Welcome to Dickinson Law

We welcomed the Class of 2025 to Penn State Dickinson Law this week with a series of events culminating in a convocation ceremony in the Law School's beautiful Apfelbaum Family Courtroom & Auditorium. Dean Danielle Conway set the tone for their next three years, hopefully, longer, by emphasizing their solemn responsibility to defend the Constitution, promote the rule of law, and protect the vulnerable among us.

Associate Dean of Experiential Learning Mae Quinn and Associate Dean for Research and Innovation Daryl Lim co-hosted students over lunch. They enjoyed hearing about their aspirations at law school and beyond, shared their thoughts on navigating their 1L year, and encouraged them to look beyond grades to find their areas of passion in the law. Looking forward to seeing their budding careers blossom in the years ahead.

IP Law Society Student Dialogue

Students are at the heart of what we do at Penn State Dickinson Law. Professor Daryl Lim was very pleased to join the Intellectual Property Law Society members for a lunchtime dialogue that Professor Martin Skladany moderated. Students asked excellent questions and were keen to make a difference. In a wide-ranging conversation, they discussed the challenges IP practitioners face, AI's impact on IP law, initiatives companies and law firms have in place for diversifying their legal counsel, getting involved with the local community by being an ad hoc IP resource, and how they position themselves to get good jobs in a competitive market.

Thanks to IP Law Society President Abraham L. Lamptey, Ph.D., for inviting us. We look forward to our next dialogue session and finding new ways for students to be involved with our IP and Innovation Initiative.

fostering dialogue and collaboration. As scholars increasingly harness new computing-enabled tools, computational and data sciences will become a mainstay, even in legal scholarship. Its cyberscience initiatives support researchers probing the far corners of the universe to atoms and how they intersect with law and society.

Among other topics, they discussed ways to apply these tools and methods to identify and address gaps in diversity, equity, and inclusion, such as by looking at the innovation process through the lens of big data from information disclosure to patenting to licensing to see how women or racial minorities fare, where there might be bottlenecks, and how to improve the innovation ecosystem.

IP, Technology, Privacy and Related Course Offerings

Spring 2023

• Antitrust Law (ELECT 902): This course examines antitrust law and policy in the US as it evolved through prosecutions by the US Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission. There is brief coverage of leading market regulatory schemes, such as those affecting the marketing of foods, drugs, textiles, toxic substances, securities, and consumer products. In the antitrust area, commercial conduct alleged to violate price fixing, market allocation, tying, exclusive dealing, asset acquisition, and price discrimination norms are considered at length, with some attention to state antitrust law.

• Cybersecurity Law & Policy Seminar (CERT 916): This course is designed to give students an accessible and foundational understanding of cybersecurity's legal and policy issues. Cybersecurity protects electronic data and systems from attack, loss or other compromises. Electronic data and systems include governmental records, investor and private firm information, and the hardware and software systems used to generate and maintain that data.

• Cyberspace Law & Policy Simulation (EXPSK 917): The 1.5-day simulation examines international cyber laws and norms and serves as the capstone activity for students in Cybersecurity Law & Policy and students in Cyberspace Issues: Fundamentals and Strategy (a graduate-level course in the USAWC’s Master’s in Strategic Studies program). In this simulation exercise, student teams represent nation-states, non-government entities, and the private sector as they attempt to resolve a complex cyberspace issue in a real-world UN setting.

• Food and Drug Law (CERT 997): This course focuses on the full spectrum of federal regulation of products subject to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) jurisdiction. It covers the regulation of human food, human drugs, human biological drugs and biotechnology, human medical devices, human cosmetics, and more. For example, this course explores contemporary topics, such as regulating vaccines (e.g., for COVID-19), compassionate use of investigational medical products, digital health technology, and CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing.

• Patent Law (CERT 927): This course examines the theory behind patent protection and the societal ramifications of providing limited legal monopolies to inventors. The course explores patentable subject matter, the requirements for obtaining a patent, patent rights, infringement, remedies, and different patent types. No technical background is needed.

• Trademarks (CERT 932): This course examines numerous theoretical justifications for trademarks i.e., words, names, symbols, or devices that identify and distinguish goods and indicate the source of the goods. The course also explores what can be trademarked,

infringement standards, federal registration, trademark dilution, defenses to infringement, and remedies.

Fall 2023 (Subject to Change)

• Internet Law (CERT 921): The course examines how the rise of the Internet has challenged traditional areas of the law while also exploring how the law has shaped the Internet. The course covers network structure, governance architecture, domain names, jurisdiction, intellectual property, and e-commerce.

• Introduction to Intellectual Property (CERT 922): The course investigates whether and, if so, how to protect different types of creations of the individual mind—e.g., inventions, artwork, slogans, etc. The course examines the three major areas of IP (trademarks, copyrights, and patents) along with numerous subsidiary IP regimes (trade secrets, right of publicity, unfair competition, and numerous sui generis protections). The course is suitable for those wanting to receive a general overview of intellectual property and how it might relate to their area of concentration or to students desiring to specialize in one or more IP fields.

• Sports Law (CERT 905): This course explores how various areas of the law impact the sports and entertainment industry. The "law" that most sports lawyers use is the application of settled principles of other legal fields to the sports industry: contract law, labor law, tax law, product liability law, intellectual property law, etc. The course then focuses on important areas that provide the foundational principles that drive the outcome of most legal disputes arising in the sports and entertainment industry. The course also examines certain areas of the law, such as antitrust, labor, and constitutional law, that have specific and unique applications to sports and entertainment.

Other Courses on the Catalogue

• Copyright Law (CERT 905): Copyright law is founded on the tension between incentivizing authors to create and disseminate information as widely as possible. The course will explore the legal and societal difficulties this creates and emphasize familiarity with doctrinal issues through practical exercises.

• Information Privacy Law (CERT 917): As information technology advances, the legal issues surrounding information privacy, data collection, data retention, data access, and data disclosure grow increasingly complicated. This course will explore information privacy and security issues arising from technological change and resulting shifts in societal perceptions of individual privacy, including how private and government actors electronically gather data, what type of data is gathered (personally identifiable information, biometric data, geolocation data, intimate personal details), and how such data is compiled, shared, bought, and sold across private industry data platforms and government electronic databases. The course overviews the current legal regime in the United States meant to address such issues. This overview will take into account constitutional, statutory, contract, and common

law sources of information privacy and electronic surveillance law at the federal and state levels. There will be a particular focus on the First and Fourth Amendment concerns that result from such data gathering. The course concludes with a focus on developing fair information practices and principles to mitigate constitutional privacy concerns.

• Blockchain, Cryptocurrency and Law (EXPSK 915): This course will provide students with an engaging overview of blockchain technology, cryptocurrency, and smart contracts to introduce them to the essential information every student should know about the legal implications of this emerging, disruptive global technology. The legal landscape includes government, payment systems, intellectual property, regulation, and civil and criminal liability.

Blockchain technology is poised to disrupt virtually every industry on a global scale in ways neither rivaled nor contemplated since the advent of the Internet. This course will involve individual and group work and challenge students to consider how this technology will impact their lives, communities, and the world. It will also prepare them to stay on the leading edge of innovation. Additionally, expert guest lecturers from the ecosystem (tech, law, business) will visit the class in person or via Zoom to present current issues, hot topics, and future trends.

He is pursuing legal training because of his passion for promoting Intellectual Property rights, generational wealth creation, and human rights by serving needy communities. He desires to use his cross-cultural and foreign language competencies and his knowledge and skills in the law to enrich lives and impact society through advocacy and service to diverse populations. As such, he is interested in opportunities in (and at the intersection between) Intellectual Property, Sports, Entertainment, and Immigration laws. Abraham serves as a research assistant for Prof. Sara Gerke, president of the DIPLS, secretary of SELS, and treasurer of BLSA.

Why did you choose to study at Dickinson Law?

AL: I chose to pursue my legal education at Dickinson Law because of its location in a vibrant legal market, close-knit community, and richly broad curriculum focused on developing students’ innovative problem-solving skills for practice readiness in a competitive legal market.

What IP, privacy, or tech law courses have you taken or intend to take?

AL: I have taken the Introduction to IP course, and I am interested in taking classes on Copyrights, Antitrust, Trademarks, Information Privacy, and Cybersecurity.

Describe your involvement with Dickinson IP Law Society (DIPLS).

AL: The DIPLS has allowed members to make meaningful connections and build their professional identities through conversations and hosting intellectually stimulating events. My involvement and leadership within the DIPLS have enabled me to refine my leadership skills and develop professional relationships with colleagues, professors, and industry players. It has also allowed me to gain innovative and collaborative problem-solving skills and important insights into the legal profession.

What are your professional goals?

AL: I want to be an IP attorney working at the intersections between IP, sports, entertainment, and international laws. I want to contribute to national and global IP issues across different sectors to help rights owners to create generational wealth from their ownership.
