newsI n 1969, Teruo Doi, a visiting Japanese professor, taught the first Intellectual Property (IP) law course at UW Law. Decades later, his contribution within the Asian and Comparative Law Program would evolve into a full-blown, internationally recognized IP research institute and 20th educational program. Anniversary of The Center for Advanced Study and Research on Intellectual Property (CASRIP), the brainchild of leading U.S. patent scholar Donald Chisum, CAI SR P has undergone many transformations since its inception in the 1980s. From a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) to a UW-integrated Summer Institute and research goliath, CASRIP has evolved as an IP law program that is shaping the worldwide IP system. This year — its 20th anniversary — we salute the founders, faculty, alumni and students of CASRIP for their many years of innovation.
The center’s first incarnation was as a non- profit association with a focus on problems in high technology patents and other intellectual property ownership rights. Professor Chisum wanted CASRIP to qualify for NGO status so he and his associates could attend meetings held at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) — a specialized UN agency — and watch the law take shape.
“Substantive patent harmonization was the origin and raison d’etre of CASRIP in its early days,” explained Chisum’s protégé and CASRIP’s first deputy director, Al Tramposch ’86. “Under the umbrella of CASRIP, Don and I began attending the meetings in Geneva that drafted a major treaty on Substantive Patent Harmonization (the “PLT” or Patent Law Treaty).”
2 W IPO’s committee of experts discussed issues of the “first-to-file” system and the 12-month grace period — both remain hot topics in today’s IP law. Chisum and Tramposch stood as CASRIP representatives at the 1991 Diplomatic Conference of WIPO Member States in The Hague, Netherlands.
A year later, Chisum’s program joined forces with the law school, and CASRIP became part of the University of Washington’s School of Law. The law school hired Mike Townsend to teach copyright D ean Kellye Testy, CASRIP Graduate Tatra Mary Musheshe and trademark law and serve as Associate Director and Prof. Toshiko Takenaka for CASRIP. The Summer Institute was first offered “Fortunately, Professor Martin Adelman at George in 1994 over a three-week period.

Whatever the future holds for IP law, CASRIP is sure to remain at the forefront of innovation in the field.

The IPR Tribunal was created in 1996, five years before China became a member of the World Intellectual Property Organization. The nation’s IP law has developed rapidly since then, largely influenced by the signing of additional international treaties. Today, Chief Justice Kong and his associates handle all of the country’s trademark, copyright and patent appeals from high courts.
“The number of cases of intellectual property is probably the most in the world,” Kong said.
The Chief Justice shared this insider knowledge of the SPC and its judiciary functions in a keynote address at CASRIP’s High Tech Summit, marking both the 20th anniversary of the research center and Kong’s first English-language speech. f a l l 2 0 1 2

In particular, O’Connor and Laster co-taught IP Law Core based on a unique, highly- interactive teaching style. Gomulkiewicz also recruited Signe Naeve ’00 as Assistant Director, now Associate Director, to work with students on academic advising and career counseling. Naeve’s role quickly expanded over time to include a significant amount of teaching, especially intellectual property legal-research-and-writing- related courses.
One of the hallmarks of the IP LL.M. education is the teaching of its outstanding adjunct professors, who provide a bridge between academics and the practice of law. “Our adjunct professors are a ‘who’s who’ of the best IP lawyers in Seattle,” Gomulkiewicz said. “Since Seattle is one of the top IP producing regions in the world, our IP LL.M. students learn from some of the top IP lawyers in the world.”

’85 ’94 ’02 The Passion for Invention Drives Them Forward By Ilona V. Idlis
10 Twelve years ago the founders of Intellectual Ventures (IV) — Nathan Myhrvold and Edward Jung, both formerly of Microsoft, Peter Detkin, the one- time head litigator at Intel and UW Law alumnus Greg Gorder ’85 — sat down to reinvent invention.
“ The way that the world was treating invention rights — a lot of lawsuits, monopolies on the manufacturing of an invention — wasn’t very effective,” Gorder explained. “We kind of had a common belief that it wasn’t being done as well as it should be.”
They saw the status quo of invention slowed by the product cycle and saddled by exclusivity. In the business world, inventions that didn’t lead to new features and functions of relevant commercialized products sat collecting dust, any other value ignored. In the legal world, ingenuity was bound by exclusive patent rights, locked away from the common good and market competition.
Gorder, formerly a partner at Perkins Coie, who specialized in high-technology, corporate and securities law and provided business and legal counsel to early stage technology companies, likens an invention to owning a piece of real estate. The patent is its property line and “No Trespassing” sign. The owner may have built his dream home and would love to have guests over, but his rights are solely designed to keep people out.
Gorder’s colleague, fellow UW Law alumnus and patent attorney Roy Diaz ’02 calls this the “bad neighbor right.”
“You are only permitted to keep trespassers off your property,” Diaz said, continuing the analogy. “No inventor I’ve met has ever said that they were excited to exclude others. But in law, that’s the only actionable thing. Because of that, many aspects of intellectual property are viewed in a negative light.”
The United States has over eight million patents issued to date. Most of them are not being commercialized. Gorder and the co-founders
were tired of seeing these great ideas waste away in isolated mansions. f af a l l l l 2 2 0 0 1 2 1 2 Instead they wanted to assemble the invention rights in one place, organize them and grant access to the knowledge to interested parties. uw law uw law

That took “It’s not just the technology that’s new. The legal capital and the faith of friends and investors, like frameworks have to be invented, also,” said Bill Gates. The company set up three funds for Rosenwald, who handles those contracts. “The its sourcing: the Invention Science Fund (ISF), the business itself is so new that you have to come Invention Investment Fund (IIF) and the Invention up with business structures and legal agreements Development Fund (IDF).

14 According to the New York Times, “The present system, one of the nation’s oldest patent principles and called ‘first-to-invent,’ relies on lab notebooks, e-mails and early prototypes to establish the date of invention. The impending law would overturn that by awarding patents to the inventors who are ‘first-to-file’ with theU nited States Patent and Trademark Office.” Proponents believe the bill will put the U.S. in alignment with the rest of the world. Opponents say the law favors large corporations.
But, according to W. Hunter Simpson Professor of Technology Law and CASRIP Director, Professor Toshiko Takenaka, “The America Invents Act enhances U.S. industry’s international competitiveness by moving the U.S. patent system more in line with the rest of the world and facilitating U.S. inventors to procure patent rights in major markets such as Europe and Asia. Even before the enactment of AIA, the U.S. did not follow a ‘first-to-invent’ principle because USPTO has been examining more than 99 percent of applications under a ‘first-to-file’ principle. The discrepancy of the Patent Statute and the examination practice frequently misled U.S. inventors to forfeiture of their rights for patent.”
Recently Evelyn M. Rusli of DealBook wrote: “Intellectual Ventures may be best known for its huge archive of patents and its willingness to pursue lawsuits in defense of those patents, but it’s also a part-time incubator to promising start-ups.”
Is this a dual personality for the company? No, it’s part of their business model. In 12 short years, Intellectual Ventures has taken this business model and through investment funds, brainstorming sessions, sponsored invention, their belief that inventions and inventors should be treated well and a willingness to take risk, they’ve become perhaps the largest innovator in the world. f a l l 2 0 1 2

Bruce Robertson ’77: Condon Hall was a place that, once you left, you never wanted to return. Maybe it was the cold concrete walls. Maybe it was the hard plastic seats in the lecture halls. Or maybe it was just that, as was once famously said about Oakland, there was no “there” there.

The organization no longer measures its success merely by counting the numbers of individuals served directly by its programs. They look to achieve sustainable citywide changes in partnership with business, government and hundreds of community-based nonprofit organizations.
Campbell describes the situation: “We began by building on strategies that are known to be effective. To those strategies we added innovations that merit testing. We rigorously evaluated our work and used lessons learned to inform and influence systems, policies and practices that impact New Yorkers citywide.
“During my time at United Way, we have also re-imagined the way we work with our corporate partners — bringing value beyond collecting and distributing funds. We now offer our corporate partners opportunities to actively engage with us over a multi-year period to achieve substantial impact on community issues of mutual concern: the quality of education, the financial stability of low-income families and the elimination of preventable and costly diseases. We harness the skills, talents and intellectual capital of their employees in meaningful ways to produce clear and concrete results.

37 Books & Beyond Supporting Innovation the Gallagher Way By Mary Whisner
The Gallagher Law Library’s primary mission is to support the curricular and research needs of the School of Law. As faculty and students innovate, that means supporting their innovation — and the library itself often innovates to do so.
In fact, Mrs. Marion Gallagher, for whom the law library was named upon her retirement in 1981, was a born innovator. For example, she created the Current Index to Legal Periodicals (CILP), a weekly list of articles published in academic law journals, organized by subject. Originally just one page of listings distributed only to our faculty in print, today CILP indexes over 650 U.S. journals. The digital version can be found in nearly all American law schools, in many law firms and in some foreign law schools.
Today, a major trend in legal education is the rise Publication is important to share knowledge and of cross-disciplinary work. And library services analysis. This year, UW Law increased its public have become cross-disciplinary too.
