Patents, copyright, dogs, pictures of space, Michigan sports. If you’re blocked, you said something dumb so I blocked you. Would like to go back to only being mad about IP policy please. (he/him)

I mean, I diligently check all things I'm writing about or submitting as an academic, scholar/researcher, and legal practitioner. Were y'all not doing that before AI?

PERA and PREVAIL would take us backward—reviving bad patents and blocking challenges. EFF is fighting back. Join us:

33+DC, if we’re counting states I’ve spent actual time in. (If you count “stuck overnight at a layover” you can add one more and if you count driven through but didn’t stay the night, add another 5.)

Any sports reporters out there? I've got a story for you:

I wrote up my thoughts on the Library of Congress debacle. I even got to refer to one of the earliest cases in my career--defending the giant pandas at the National Zoo. Although it originally posted before the awesome! CADC IAF decision, I added a few mentions. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/bure...

This is pretty relevant to Perlmutter’s firing (and the Natl Portrait Gallery firing as well.)

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

Spoke ENTIRELY too soon

I am dog sitting my brother in law’s dog this week. Now, from prior experience I have learned not to leave open food on the counter (because he is a horse who can just kinda stretch his neck out). But surely a tightly closed jar of peanut butter would be fine, right?

Nice empirical documentation that a large fraction of historically significant inventions were cases of multiple invention: someone did or would have come up with them soon even if the best-known inventor hadn't. www.construction-physics.com/p/how-often-...

Former solicitor of the USPTO Thomas Krause sent a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee. It’s a critical indictment of a patent system that has lost the ability to distinguish between invention and exploitation.🧵

The PERA and PREVAIL Acts would revive invalid software patents and cripple our best tools for fighting patent trolls.

I mean, have you seen most non-AI Christian media? This stuff’s probably a step up.

We're about to have transcripts on CourtListener for over 3.2 million minutes of oral argument recordings. Fully searchable. Read along as you listen. This has been on the to-do list since 2016 and advances in AI finally made it possible. If you want in the beta, drop a DM!

So I've pointed out Magnetar's involvement in the 2008 financial crisis before, but hadn't run across Longitude yet. Longitude's owner was involved in a payday lending scam that used shell companies in Belize/VI to hide their involvement in 600% rate loans. www.realclearpolicy.com/articles/202...

Guess that op ed only convinced people you can’t be trusted with actual higher education, but failed to convince the people who you were trying to sell on it.

Hey @amyklobuchar.com @klobuchar.senate.gov... any concerns that the bill you eagerly pushed is now being talked about by the folks who have been kidnapping people off the street for opeds and the guy who begged for his FTC job by saying he was going to "fight the trans agenda"? No?

HLS/HLR folks: If you have any additional details about this “cooperating witness” situation and the apparent investigation into HLR by the Trump administration, please reach out! I’m on Signal at annabower.24 Email: [email protected] Happy to speak off the record or on background
