As we wind down the Thanksgiving holiday here in the U.S., the CPIP team is grateful for many things, most especially your support. If you are spending time with family\u2014or enjoying a \u201cFriendsgiving\u201d\u2014we hope it has been restful.<\/p>\n
As part of CPIP\u2019s enhanced focus on international engagement, I gave a series of lectures in South Korea earlier this month at Mason\u2019s own Korea<\/a> campus in Incheon and at Seoul National University. First up was \u201cAI and IP: Who Owns What Non-Humans Create<\/a>\u201d at Mason Korea in Incheon. Next were two lectures at Seoul National University: \u201cIP and Ethics in AI-Based Biomedical Research\u201d at the medical school and \u201cComplex Nature of Music Compositions for Copyright Litigation\u201d at the law school. Finally, I presented \u201cThe New Music Economy: Data + Experiences\u201d to an audience of copyright professionals. I very much appreciated SNU\u2019s Professor Sang Jo Jong<\/strong> for providing me with his son\u2019s guitar for performance demonstrations at the two music lectures.<\/p>\n Back in Arlington, we continued our international activities by hosting the Japan IP Association<\/a> (JIPA) and Japan External Trade Organization<\/a> (JETRO) for their annual programs with DC-area IP professionals. As part of this, CPIP Deputy Director Kevin Madigan<\/strong> and I gave a joint talk to the JIPA delegation and I gave an overview of our new Innovation Law Clinic to the JETRO participants. Judge Randall Rader<\/strong> (ret.) and I also performed a musical set for the JIPA farewell dinner. Next month, I will be teaching at Tsinghua University School of Law in Beijing together with Judge Rader and John Whealan<\/strong>, Associate Dean for IP Studies at George Washington University School of Law.<\/p>\n In other important developments here at CPIP, we are excited to welcome CPIP Senior Scholar and Torrey H. Webb Professor of Law at USC Gould School of Law Jonathan Barnett<\/strong> as our non-resident Senior Fellow for Innovation Policy to direct our activities in that space. The kickoff event for the build-out of our current campus into the Arlington Innovation District\u2014celebrating 40 years here already\u2014was a great success with media coverage<\/a> for the impressive vision set out by the Interim President, Anne Holton<\/strong>, and other senior administrators. We congratulate non-resident Senior Fellow for Life Sciences Erika Lietzan<\/strong> for her well-deserved promotion<\/a> to full professor at the University of Missouri-Columbia! Finally, the remaining videos<\/a> from this October\u2019s Fall Conference have been uploaded to the CPIP website.<\/p>\n Enjoy those Thanksgiving leftovers, and we hope to see you at a CPIP event soon!<\/p>\n
