Our recent IP Program Celebration was unforgettable! We celebrated Professor Ed Lee’s final semester as an IP Faculty member and welcomed Professors Sarah Burstein, Jordana Goodman, and Cathay Smith to the IP Faculty. Thanks to those who joined us for a night of new beginnings!

[Greg Reilly @ProfGReilly]

@bartnewland Thanks - that’s a good one. I touch on that issue in several places but might add its own section to be more explicit. I address it in my first day of patent law class because the conflating of right to exclude with right to practice is so common!

Now on SSRN, my new paper Misleading Patent Signals. Audiences can be misled by patented status if they overestimate reliability of info it should convey (eg, tech distinctness) or treat it as conveying info it doesn't (eg, quality, financial promise) https://t.co/Cr38PmwGAK

Looking forward to presenting my paper tomorrow!

My new article - Patent Office Power & Discretionary Denials - is now published in the @ConnLRev. Discretionary denials continue to be a controversial PTAB practice. The surrounding debate also offers lessons for greater PTO power in the patent system. https://t.co/09vmuCfYLC

[Connecticut Law Review @ConnLRev]

The patent world erupted into debate when the Patent Office announced its discretion to deny inter partes review. Professor Greg Reilly (@ProfGReilly, @ChicagoKentLaw) leaves no stone unturned in his pathbreaking scholarly analysis of the practice.

@michaelmattioli @FTC @SSRN Just downloaded your paper - it will be very useful for my paper. My paper should be ready by late spring and I’ll definitely share with you for feedback!

[Greg Reilly @ProfGReilly]

@michaelmattioli @FTC I’m working on a paper related to this right now - “False Patent Signals” - the way in which patents are used and received to signal information the patent system does not intend them to signal.

We @ChicagoKentLaw are so excited that Jordi is joining our faculty. She is really going to strengthen our IP program and patent expertise. Her scholarship is rigorous, fascinating, and vitally important. So happy for this addition to our scholarly community!!!

[Jordi Goodman @Jordi_Goodman]

It's official! I'm off the market and will join Chicago-Kent College of Law as an Assistant Professor in August 2023. Chicago, here I come! I'll be teaching patents, property, and DEI in IP. Thank you so much for all of your support!

[Greg Reilly @ProfGReilly]

This is shocking and so deeply sad. I greatly enjoyed discussing - and sometimes debating - patent law issues with Dmitry. One of the first people I asked to read whenever I had a draft - generous with his time and incisive with his comments. Too young to be gone.

[Jason Rantanen @IowaPatentLaw]

Devastated to learn of the passing of my dear friend and colleague Dmitry Karshtedt. https://t.co/6VNmIiXy3n

[Greg Reilly @ProfGReilly]

@marklemley @karshtedt Oh no. What awful and shocking news. So unbelievably sad.

For more on the Fed Cir's questionable views about what @patentlyo calls the IPR-DCT 'dance,' see @ProfGReilly 's @WLULawReview piece on the justiciability of canceled patents https://t.co/LeFAH9zKsA

[Greg Reilly @ProfGReilly]

@PatentJosh Thanks for the feedback - I'll review since this is still a draft. Though CCIA arg cited doesn't just say PTO can't do things that directly conflict with statute (which is obv true) but that Cong occupied field (if you will) re at least timing & other proceedings

[Greg Reilly @ProfGReilly]

New from me: Patent Office Power & Discretionary Denials. Defends PTO power to adopt discretionary denials (despite vigorous challenges). Labels these challenges "reverse Oil States" as other half of patent debates adjusts to more admin power in patent law https://t.co/8tsMIulK5Z
