I've posted my latest paper, The Double Patenting Puzzle, to SSRN. It explores how Congress keeps expanding ways to create double patents knowing of their ills. Thanks to the Houston Law Review for the opportunity to publish in its IPIL Symposium issue. https://t.co/o8EWiEKdus

Vice Dean Michael Risch (@ProfRisch) weighs in on a case involving patented railworker-safety technology used on @NJTRANSIT tracks that span two court circuits’ jurisdictions in NY & NJ and whether the case could make its way to the #SCOTUS via @BLaw https://t.co/xESBLNRhSV

Chevron overruled. It's the wild west out there, though opponents of the expanding administrative state would argue that it already was. https://t.co/UxubaFAA2X

I said "rizzin'" in front of my kid and his friends today, and I could see in their eyes the decision to never use that word again.

@mlewyn @OrinKerr Agreed @mlewyn, and I saw the full range of profs. It never occurred to me that I should do this (my GPA was fine for it).

1/3 On this date in #innovation history: Charles & William Walters receive a #patent in 1896 for their #invention of new business method for banks to receive deposits & process claims on accounts. Biz method patents did not start in 1998 with State Street Bank decision. @uspto

Apparently, the DeLorean Company has risen from the ashes to sue NBC Universal for its marketing of the Back to the Future time machine. The transfer of ownership rights is a mess, and DeLorean somehow avoids summary judgment of non-infringement. https://t.co/glhjZYM3I9

@JohnFiduccia @CBSSportsCBB @StJohnsBBall @BIGEASTMBB Came here to say this. I was there-one of the very few losses by the championship team that year.

@sarahjeong This was a terrific article. Your tweets did not change my life (sorry), but I can say that your tweeted trial coverage was useful, entertaining, and timely, a rare combination and (other than getting people to read my work) the only benefit of Twitter I know of.

@andre_quentin @JeremyTColes @DataColada This is about the most damning evidence of falsification I've ever seen. She may be able to convince somebody that she shouldn't lose her job, but defamation's gonna be a pretty hard sell...unless, of course, Harvard just made up these exhibits.
