Recent CPIP Programs & Events<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n

\"U.S.<\/p>\n

On March 3, 2019, the Arts & Entertainment Advocacy Clinic joined the Washington Area Lawyers for the Arts (WALA) to co-host an Intellectual Property Drop-In Clinic<\/a> at the D.C. Independent Film Festival in Washington, D.C.

On February 28-March 2, 2019, CPIP hosted the first meeting of the 2019-2020 Thomas Edison Innovation Fellowship in San Diego, California. The meeting, which focused on research methodologies and developing research ideas, featured several days of academic roundtable discussions, as well as presentations by inventors and other representatives from the innovation industries.<\/p>\n

On February 7-8, 2019, CPIP hosted a research symposium, Safe Harbors and Private Ordering in the Creative Industries<\/em>, at Antonin Scalia Law School, George Mason University, in Arlington, Virginia.

CPIP Scholars Join Issue Paper Arguing for End to Outdated ASCAP and BMI Consent Decrees<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n

\"sheet<\/p>\n

On February 21, 2019, CPIP Senior Scholars Adam Mossoff<\/strong> and Kristen Osenga<\/strong> joined SIU Law\u2019s Mark Schultz<\/strong> and Texas A&M Law\u2019s Saurabh Vishnubhakat<\/strong> in drafting an issue paper entitled De-Regulating the Songwriting Business<\/em><\/a>. The issue paper, which was published by the Federalist Society\u2019s Regulatory Transparency Project, argues that the consent decrees that have governed songwriters since the 1940s should be ended in order to take full advantage of modern technologies for the distribution of music.<\/p>\n

The issue paper concludes: “The ASCAP and BMI consent decrees are long outdated relics, imposing heavy and often unpredictable regulation on songwriters and music publishers. DOJ\u2019s 2016 attempt to double down on regulating the industry instead of easing regulation shows just how problematic running an industry by consent decree can be. This over-reaching interpretation would have limited the flexibility of songwriters to determine their own creative and economic destinies.”<\/p>\n

CPIP Scholars File Comments with ITC to Correct Misapplication of Public Interest Factor for Injunctive Relief<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n

\"Washington,<\/p>\n

On February 7, 2019, CPIP Senior Scholars Kristen Osenga<\/strong> and Adam Mossoff<\/strong> filed comments with the International Trade Commission (ITC) entitled The Use and Abuse of the \u201cPublic Interest\u201d in the International Trade Commission and in Article III Courts<\/a><\/em>. The comments were filed as part of the ITC\u2019s investigation into the dispute between Qualcomm and Apple over the importation of infringing smartphones.<\/p>\n

In the ITC proceedings, the administrative law judge held that, even though the smartphones contained infringing technology, the public interest precluded the issuance of an exclusion order. The comments note how the recent trend in which injunctive relief is denied upon a finding of infringement harms the innovation economy that depends on stable and effective patent rights. Moreover, the comments survey the historical role of the public interest factor, noting that it was used improperly in this case given the way it has traditionally been used.<\/p>\n

CPIP Scholars Draft Federalist Society Issue Paper on How the FTC Harms Healthcare Innovation<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n

\"scientist<\/p>\n

On January 28, 2019, the Federalist Society\u2019s Regulatory Transparency Project published an issue paper entitled How Antitrust Overreach is Threatening Healthcare Innovation<\/em><\/a>. CPIP Senior Scholars Adam Mossoff<\/strong> and Kristen Osenga<\/strong> joined former Federal Circuit Chief Judge Randall Rader<\/strong>, SIU Law\u2019s Mark Schultz<\/strong>, and Texas A&M Law\u2019s Saurabh Vishnubhakat<\/strong> in drafting the issue paper.<\/p>\n

The issue paper, which addresses how the FTC\u2019s antitrust overreach in the healthcare market hinders innovation and harms consumers, concludes: “The FTC\u2019s goals may be well-intentioned, but its intrusion into domains that other, more expert agencies already oversee and comprehensively regulate is troubling. By substituting its own agenda for the business judgment of sophisticated parties in the marketplace, the FTC has overreached its proper role and begun to disrupt the cycle of investment, product development, recoupment, further incremental advancement, and risk management that drives the creation of new drugs that save lives and promote greater public health.”<\/p>\n
