News & Speaking Engagements

These are news and speaking engagements for the members of the IPPI team and our affiliates from September through November 2025.

Welcome to IPPI’s Newest Affiliates

• In September, IPPI welcomed IPPI Scholar Professor Zvi S. Rosen as Copyright Fellow.
• This fall, IPPI welcomed Dr. Takeshi S. Komatani as a Practitioner in Residence.

Edison Fellowship Paper
2024-2025 Edison Fellow Mark A. Cohen’s fellowship paper, China’s Many Faces of FRAND, has been published in the European Intellectual Property Review.

Amicus Briefs

• In Cox v. Sony
  • IPPI supported and helped to organize an amicus brief of IP law scholars in support of the respondents in Cox Communications, Inc. v. Sony Music Entertainment. One of the principal authors of this brief was Zvi S. Rosen(UNH Franklin Pierce School of Law), whom IPPI recently brought on board as IPPI Copyright Fellow & Scholar. The brief makes important contributions, tracing the history of the secondary liability standard in copyright, providing important historical context for the ’76 Act, and rebutting arguments made by IP scholars on the other side of this case, including pointing out the flaws and controversy surrounding the Restatement of Copyright. This brief was also signed by several other IPPI Scholars and friends, including Jon Garon, Eric Priest, Mark Schultz, and Dr. Bhamati Viswanathan.
  • Bruce Boyden(Marquette University Law School), who recently joined IPPI as a Senior Scholar, also wrote an important amicus brief in Cox v. Sony. Professor Boyden’s brief was his solo effort, and IPPI is pleased to promote his important contribution. His sole authorship is fitting, as the brief highlights his important scholarship on the roots of secondary liability and argues that copyright secondary liability would work better and more appropriately if it were once again grounded in traditional tort principles.
  • IPPI Advisory Board Members Maria A. Pallante (Register of Copyrights, U.S. Copyright Office, 2011-2016) and Karyn A. Temple (Register of Copyrights, U.S. Copyright Office, 2019-2020) were among those who signed the Brief of Amici Curiae Former Members of Congress and Registers and General Counsels of the U.S. Copyright Office in Support of Respondents in Cox v. Sony
• In Thomson Reuters v. ROSS
  • IPPI is glad to have helped support and organize an amicus brief in support of Thomson Reuters and West Publishing Corporation in Thomson Reuters v. ROSS. Participants in the drafting and/or signing of this brief include, among others, IPPI staff and affiliates Sandra Aistars, Jon M. Garon, Joshua Kresh, Loren E. Mulraine, Sean A. Pager, Eric Priest, Zvi Rosen, Mark F. Schultz, and Bhamati Viswanathan.

Comments & Testimony

• Several IPPI Advisory Board Members and other Scholars and affiliates—including the Honorable Paul R. Michel (Ret.), the Honorable Andrei Iancu, Kristina M. L. Acri, Jonathan Barnett (co-writer), Mark A. Cohen, Dr. Bowman Heiden, Justin (Gus) Hurwitz, and Kristen Jakobsen Osenga—signed an October 7 “Response to United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office Open Consultation on Standard Essential Patents”
• On October 8, Mark A. Cohen and IPPI Advisory Board Members the Honorable Andrei Iancu, the Honorable David Kappos, and Corey Salsberg testified at a hearing of the U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary’s Subcommittee on Intellectual Property on “The Patent Eligibility Restoration Act – Restoring Clarity, Certainty, and Predictability to the U.S. Patent System.” (Recording of the hearing | Written testimonies: Mark Cohen, Andrei Iancu, David Kappos, Corey Salsberg | China IPR blog post by Mark Cohen on the hearing)

Policy Writing

• Op-ed
  • On October 8, The Well News published IPPI Distinguished Counselor in Residence and Professor of Law Sandra Aistars’ op-ed “Machines ‘Copy,’ Humans ‘Learn’”
• Fact Sheets
  • On PERA: In October, IPPI published a new Fact Sheet: Patent Eligibility Restoration Act of 2025 (PERA)by IPPI Senior Fellow for Innovation Policy & Senior Scholar Kristen Jakobsen Osenga. Over a decade ago, a series of Supreme Court decisions created uncertainty around patent eligibility, particularly with regard to diagnostics and computer-related inventions. This created a number of perhaps unintended consequences, which Congress now has a chance to resolve with the Patent Eligibility Act of 2025 (PERA). In a new IPPI fact sheet, Professor Osenga explains PERA, what problems it solves, and why it is important for innovation and investment.
  • On RESTORE: In November, IPPI published a Fact Sheet: Realizing Engineering, Science, and Technology Opportunities by Restoring Exclusive (RESTORE) Patent Rights Act of 2025 by Kristen Jakobsen Osenga. Although the Constitution sets forth a patent as an exclusive right, the U.S. Supreme Court decided nearly twenty years ago that the right to exclude can be denied in favor of a royalty payment. Professor Osenga’s newest fact sheet covers the RESTORE Bill, which is Congress’s attempt to restore the exclusive rights to patent owners as intended by the Constitution.

• Was cited in October 7 “Response to United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office Open Consultation on Standard Essential Patents”
• Submitted a response to the UK Intellectual Property Office consultation on SEPs. As explained by Mr. Mallinson in his October 13 IAM article “UKIPO SEP consultation: setting and apportioning aggregate rates based on patent counts will hinder FRAND licensing” (also available from WiseHarbor), “The UK Intellectual Property Office’s (IPO’s) 2025 consultation on Standard Essential Patents [SEPs] proposes measures to improve licensing transparency and efficiency. These include searchable SEP databases, essentiality checking services, and mechanisms for aggregate rate setting to facilitate top-down approach Fair, Reasonable and Non-Discriminatory (FRAND) licensing rate apportionments. While these initiatives aim to support UK innovation — particularly for SMEs — they risk undermining a licensing system that has successfully evolved through decades of commercial practice and judicial developments.”
