If an AI accepts a EULA and nobody is there to manifest assent, does it make a contract? Nope, but then again, consumer assent to clickwrap/browsewrap agreements is already mostly pretend. Anyway, this will be a real issue soon: AI tools that use mouse/GUI are on the way.

ICYMI along with measuring how similar 2 trademarks are perceived by consumers' brains, this also revealed aspects of trademark perception, such as visual processing, memory retrieval, "affective evaluation" and more.

Good student question: If “popsicle” isn’t the correct name for a “Popsicle® ice pop,” then what are these things called? 🤯 popsicle.ca/en/sicle-trademark

The USPTO has granted hundreds of TM regs that include "Patented.” Even if it’s true at registration, it will eventually be false. Maybe time-bomb TMs like this should be barred? (Or maybe it’s just not a big deal…) @design_law

Have you been a law prof for 8-15 years? Do you like talking about IP scholarship in small, friendly workshop settings?

If so, please consider joining us in May for our next M3* IP Scholars Workshop!

This year, we'll be running two parallel tracks: Onsite (at Miami) or online.

Full drafts and early-stage projects welcome.

------
* M3 stands for Mid-career or “Mezzanine” scholars, Middle of the academic year, & Mid-point drafts (though that last point is flexible).

I keep hearing a notification on my computer and I have no idea what the sound is telling me. It doesn't seem to correspond to anything. Can they see me!? 🤣

Okay, so trying to write a Follow Friday post about IP made me realize: There are a lot of us here!

What hashtags could/should we use to keep in touch?
