I found the 1L exams very frustrating from an educational perspective. The classical method of "reading the cases -> outlining -> doing the issue spotter" doesn't apply when commercial briefs, outlines, and sample questions are too readily available. Yep - memorizing a huge outline and doing a typing contest makes the best baby lawyers. 😅 If I were a professor, I would ask more open-ended questions, such as: - How would you handle this very annoying OA (gives a simplified version of claims and spec)? - (Gives an excerpt and summary of LKQ) How will LKQ impact design patent applications in the future? - Describe a technology from an area you are not familiar with. - Here is a simple invalidity analysis from the opposing counsel. How would you respond?

I had the opportunity to moderate a fascinating session following a meeting between World Intellectual Property Organization – WIPO Director General Daren Tang and Finnish Minister of Science and Culture Sari Multala. We dug deep into hot topics like AI, cutting-edge tech, copyright, infrastructure, and data sharing. I sincerely thank Assistant Director General Ken-Ichiro Natsume for setting the stage with insightful opening remarks. His contributions laid a solid foundation for the subsequent discussions. Heartfelt appreciation goes to Ms. Dr. Ulrike Till, Mr. Benoit Muller, and Mr. Karl Kalejs for their invaluable insights and comprehensive presentations on the aforementioned topics. Their expertise not only added depth to the conversation but also provided a multifaceted understanding of the intricate intersections of AI, copyright, and emerging technologies. I sincerely thank Minister Sari Multala and the Finnish delegates whose active participation enriched our interactive discussions. Their keen interest in these emerging topics demonstrated a shared commitment to exploring the potential of AI and copyright in driving innovation and shaping the future of technology. This meeting was a testament to the power of collaboration and knowledge exchange. I look forward to further engagements pushing the boundaries of understanding and cooperation in these critical domains. A special acknowledgment is due to the TDC/SCDC team's meticulous meeting organization, ensuring a seamless flow of discussions. Their efforts behind the scenes were instrumental in bringing together diverse perspectives and fostering a collaborative environment. #wipo #finland #ai #copyright #innnovation #creativity #collaboration

It was an instructive moment for me when giving a talk about ideas incubation and development within the artscience spectrum to a business community alongside an IP lawyer - to think about the kind of products and content that we have today because of how ideas used to travel, circulate, co-mingle, and influence each other in ways that came out of personal passions and inventive practices unconstrained by the technicalities of trademarks, IPs, and copyright - not that that was always a good thing for there were lots of personal disputes and wars that went on for a lifetime in some cases due to accusations of intellectual theft. In delivering that talk, I was able to think through how crucial it is to have a strong understanding of intellectual history, in relation to the history of the arts, sciences, and technologies, for adapting to a fast-changing business world, and even to understand what one is investing into. After all, artscience is not a mere congregation of disciplines but also a way of thinking and being that are entangled with all epochs of the industrial revolutions, and suggested why much of what took place in what we considered as the 'artscience world' by present conventions, and prior to IR 1.0, was relevant to IR 1.0, and all other present day IRs going forward. #artscience #entrepreneurship

Global Intellectual Property Convention 2024 had the theme of Innovate, Protect and Scale. The good thing is that this meeting brought together innovators, in house IP counsels and IP attorneys and I had a good chance to talk with them. My big question was how some countries like China, United States and India have a bigger volume of invention than other countries like my country Tanzania? The answer was that many inventions are made by young people whose capacity of understanding a problem and come up with solutions are usually higher than adults. I learned that the knowledge of the benefits of invention for young people in these countries with high volume of Invention is given in schools not only by teachers but by in house IP counsels, inventors and IP attorneys.

It's great to hear about your experience at the Global Intellectual Property Convention 2024 and the insights you gained regarding the high volume of inventions in countries like China, the United States, and India. Fostering a culture of creativity and innovation is paramount for Tanzania's sustainable development. The insights gained from the Global Intellectual Property Convention 2024, particularly the emphasis on the role of education and mentorship, provide a roadmap for the nation to nurture its young talent. By integrating innovation into the education system, establishing mentorship programs, and creating a supportive ecosystem through public-private partnerships, Tanzania can unlock the potential of its youth. The implementation of measures such as innovation hubs, IP protection reinforcement, and targeted funding opportunities will further catalyse the growth of a vibrant innovation landscape. Celebrating success stories, promoting collaboration, and facilitating technology transfer are crucial components to inspire and sustain a culture of innovation. Ultimately, investing in research and development, both in educational institutions and dedicated centres, will empower Tanzanian youth to address local challenges and contribute meaningfully to global advancements. Through a comprehensive and collaborative approach, Tanzania can position itself on the global stage as a hub for innovation, ensuring that its young population becomes a driving force for positive change and economic prosperity.

🌟 EDP Module 4 - Understanding the Essentials of Intellectual Property (IP) 🌟 In today’s innovation-driven world, safeguarding your intellectual property (IP) is critical for success! 🚀 Here are some key takeaways: 💡 9 Types of Intellectual Property: 1️⃣ Patent: Protects inventions and innovations. 2️⃣ Trademark: Identifies the source of products or services. 3️⃣ Copyright: Safeguards creative expressions (written works, music, art). 4️⃣ Trade Secrets: Protects confidential business information. 🔑 What Can Be Patented? "Anything made by man under the sun" is patentable. However, abstract ideas, laws of nature, or algorithms typically aren't. 📝 Requirements for Patentability: Novelty 🌟 Non-obviousness 🧠 Utility ⚙️ Proper description and enablement 📜 📢 Trademarks & Copyrights: Trademarks distinguish products/services. 🏷️ Copyright lasts for 70 years beyond the author's lifetime 📚 I attended this informative session earlier and am posting about it today! The interactive nature of the discussion, led by Lone Saquib Sir, was a great opportunity to share ideas with fellow students. Grateful to JECRC University, JECRC Incubation Centre,Arpit Agrawal sir, Dheemant Agrawal sir, and my classmates Parth Sharma and Harsh Sandhu ! 🙌 #Entrepreneurship #Startup #ProductDevelopment #Innovation #IntellectualProperty #Patents #Trademarks #Copyright #IPRights #BusinessGrowth #DesignThinking #Networking #Leadership #BusinessStrategy
