Excited to watch Jesse Appell talk about "Small Businesses in the Age of Digital Influence" with the House Committee on Small Business today! www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyla...

Due process is not a liberal concept.

I'm so excited that you'll be joining us! I'm happy to find time to discuss my experience teaching at Chicago-Kent. I love the students and faculty - they're helping me to become the best professor I can be, and I'd love to pass on their wisdom! Message me if you'd like to find time to chat :)

I like local-only swag (like little bags of Garrett's popcorn in Chicago or mini chocolates from a local shop). I also once got a chip clip with a strong magnet on the back - it's great for putting things on the fridge and also sealing open bags). +1 for socks and umbrellas!

Then I ask: “Have you ever been confident about something you later found out was wrong?” We discuss how everyone is "programmed" by life experiences—some good, some flawed. Growth comes from engaging with different views. It’s a great way to start a class built on open, respectful dialogue! (2/2)

I do an experiment with this in my class! Last year, students asked ChatGPT “How many R’s are in strawberry?” ChatGPT gives the wrong answer (usually it says 2). Then, they have to persuade it that it’s wrong. After sharing results, we talk about persuasion and how tech isn’t always right. (1/2)

Thanks so much for sharing! I emailed you a few thoughts, and I really appreciate this piece!

I had an amazing time at WEMIP at Northwestern Law! Mike Schuster and I discussed our project about interactions between attorneys, inventors, and examiners in patent law (or what we lovingly call "The Patent Trifecta")! Special thanks to our exceptional discussant, Melissa Wasserman.

Special shout out to Sean Harrington, whose paper (papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....) is cited in the international search report as relevant prior art!

The search report found a relevant piece of prior art (for a 102 or 103 rejection) for every claim filed, and the applicant later rectified the gap between claims 14 and 16 in the originally filed document. We'll have to wait and see how the applicant responds to the first OA (which hasn't come out)

I agree with M. Scott Boone. Although the title may specifically refer to legal research, independent claim 1 does not mention legal research (and seems quite broad and generic). Claim 20 (the other independent claim) is the only claim that even mentions the term "legal".

Unfortunately, it's not available on Svahausa.com anymore, but sometimes you can get lucky and find it on resale websites!! There was also a patent collared shirt and a unisex t-shirt.

I have an immense amount of support from scholars, but verbal support isn't necessarily enough. Worrying that my planned/promised scholarship cannot come out (in time or ever) because I won't be able to access data is a new level of panic.

"The data and likely the related github code are expected to go offline on March 28th." Prepping for classes and writing is hard, but manageable (and I love my students and school dearly). I love working on my inclusion scholarship in intellectual property.

If you have the resources to download, archive, and advertise open access to data, that's incredibly helpful for empirical scholars right now. I rely on patentsview.org for a lot of my work, and we just heard that "the USPTO is terminating the PatentsView contract."

• transgender** - personal identity expression
• equality - equal rights

I see banned words and I'll use my thesaurus. Please suggest revisions, especially ones with asterisks. Those were the most difficult for me to define, but there are certainly others that could use some revision!

• intersectionality - interconnected social identities
• prejudice - preconceived opinion
• privilege - advantage
• racial identity - ethnic self-conception
• sexuality - sexual orientation
• stereotypes - generalized assumptions
• pronouns – personal identifiers

• equitableness - justness
• feminism - women's rights movement
• gender** - sex category
• gender identity** - personal identity experience
• inclusion - integration
• inclusive - all-embracing
• all-inclusive - comprehensive
• inclusivity - acceptance
• injustice - unfairness

• anti-racism - anti-discrimination
• racism - racial prejudice
• allyship - supportive advocacy
• bias - skewed perspective
• DEI - representation, fairness, and acceptance
• diversity - variety
• diverse - varied
• confirmation bias - belief reinforcement
• equity - fairness

"Injustice" also seems to be a concerning addition to the list.

Congratulations to Professor Sarah Fackrell @design-law.bsky.social at Chicago-Kent College of Law for her article “The Counterfeit Sham” in Harvard Law Review, discussing the important differences between counterfeiting and design patent infringement.

University-filed patent applications demonstrate increased gender parity in allowance rates and continued prosecution, compared to their small and large entity industry equivalents. Thank you so much to UGA - Terry College of Business, MIT, and Chicago-Kent for supporting our efforts. (2/2)

Gender inventorship equity in patent prosecution - PubMed There are pervasive gender gaps throughout the patent process. Here, we add to the literature by providing an in-depth analysis of gendered outcomes across each stage of patent prosecution. We show th...

I am so proud of this joint work with Mike Schuster in Scientific Reports. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39814744/ “Gender Inventorship Equity in Patent Prosecution,” shows how each stage of examination individually contributes to a lower aggregate grant rate for female inventors. (1/2)

Women, people of color, and women of color are more visible in representing the federal government (as opposed to private-sector clients) in patent appeals. Those original findings inform our proposals to make the patent system, and high-level law practice generally, more diverse and inclusive.

In this piece, we show the lack of diversity by gender and race of those presenting oral arguments at the Federal Circuit in patent cases. The disparities (with white men presenting 82% of oral arguments and women of color presenting 2%) bear no correlation to attorney performance.

So excited to celebrate the publication of "Inequality on Appeal: The Intersection of Race and Gender in Patent Litigation", co-authored with Paul Gugliuzza and @rebouche.bsky.social. Thanks to the editors at UC Davis Law Review! lawreview.law.ucdavis.edu/archives/58/...

And for even more specificity, see background paragraph 2, for a "low short-cut top."

Anthropology - took it as my non-Western requirement. I ended up majoring in it (along with chemistry) and now I write about diversity, equity, and inclusion in IP :)
