Dear esteemed colleagues,
Thank you for your interest in the Spring 2022 Edition of the BPLA Newsletter, and welcome to any new members!
This quarter’s newsletter is loaded with insightful content. We delve into some interesting wrinkles with practice at the EPO, talk about DraftKing’s winning bet against a rival’s patent, and look at ethical fashion and copyright battles. We also suggest you take a moment for yourself and read about self-compassion in our profession. We were also honored to receive an insightful letter to the editor from Professor Peter Karol weighing in on the question of our association’s name, and (in what we think is a first), have an exciting reader poll on the same topic. Please, cast your votes!
I would again like to thank my Associate Editor, Erin Connors, the BPLA’s exceptional administrator, Constance Brennan, and the staff of Readz for their help in preparing this newsletter. If you have suggestions, requests, or submissions for a future issue, please feel free to reach out to me at vice-president@bpla.org.
And, finally, we offer a heart-felt congratulations to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. My comments last quarter were a nod to retiring Justice Stephen Breyer, and I do so again for his decision to stand aside, thereby allowing a vital and previously absent perspective to come to the highest court. Justice Brown Jackson will bring just that. We believe Justice Brown Jackson can help continue our efforts toward a more perfect union while providing one more example of what we still hope will be the case going forward: that this remains a country of awesome opportunity and possibility.
