played 20 q w 4o, o1, claude, & deepseek. thought of a human (jose canseco), but all models got messed up on "is it an animal," which i've tried answering either yes or no. "yes" leads to non-human animals (usually mammals); "no" leads to slime molds etc.

Doing some research... Does anyone know how USPTO technology centers 2100, 2400, and 2600 were formed? Who decides to make new technology centers and who decides what categories are important? Would love some insight!!

Dewberry oral arg at SCOTUS tomorrow! A seemingly technical case about trademark & corporate law could have big implications for equitable relief. Two competing views of equity--one historical, one functional--at stake. My short preview (link 👇) explores possible outcomes.

Grateful to @design-law.bsky.social, @sarahrajec.bsky.social & @apublicgood.bsky.social for their open-access #PatentLaw casebook that includes plants and designs!
