Twelve years ago, I wrote my first design patent article.

At the time, no one really cared about the topic at the time. I didn't get a fancy placement.

Now, the issue I investigated and discussed at length--the application of 35 U.S.C. § 103 to design patents--is before the Federal Circuit, in #LKQvGM.

And my article got cited by both parties. https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/66745365/lkq-corporation-v-gm-global-technology-operations-llc/?order_by=desc

I think that's pretty cool.

Here's the article: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1926162

NYTimes has had it on the #GOP #Speaker mess:“Even the most pessimistic of predictions could not have captured the remarkable, drawn-out Republican self-own now raging on Capitol Hill.

In merrily decapitating their third speaker candidate on Tuesday in a move worthy of the French Revolution, House Republicans took a situation that did not seem like it could get any worse to a breathtaking new low.” https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/25/us/politics/house-republicans-speaker.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

Bethanyrberger, to Israel

I am horrified at the backlash against students protesting Israel's actions in #Gaza. I am Jewish & have relatives who escaped the holocaust to #Israel, but whatever you think about the causes of the war, condemning humanitarian violations is no more #antisemitic than condemning #Hamas is anti #Palestinian, and the US commitment to #FreeSpeech is a Jewish tradition

Electric vehicle sales in the US were up 50% year over year in Q3. While Tesla is still the 800lb gorilla from a marketshare perspective it’s dipped from 62% to 50% share.

This is a contrary trend to the thesis behind its massive valuation — that Tesla will effectively be bigger than the rest of the auto industry as EVs take over.

Analysts are hoping the Cybertruck reverses the trend. The problem is it looks terrible while other car makers have sexier cars coming.

Bethanyrberger,

@mekkaokereke @carnage4life but somehow EV sold in the US are getting bigger and more truck like. I considered buying a new EV a few months ago, and besides Tesla, and all the mid range vehicles with over 300 miles per charge were SUVs or station wagons. Sticking with my Prius for a while longer 🤷🏻

Bethanyrberger,

@pbump Agh. It feels hopeless—corruptness figures almost identical for one candidate without a record and another multiply indicted ….. similarly for one candidate who is old and another who is both old and erratic and a serial fabulist.

One more question, #LawFedi

If all the panelists are men and the moderator is a woman, do you still consider it a manel:

Bethanyrberger,

@design_law I think context is important. As part of a larger conference, sometimes a panel comes together with just men, and that’s okay. I’m helping organize a two panel symposium for our law review, and at one point because of invitations declined and withdrawals we had just one woman (besides me and the female student moderators) on the panels. That’s not the case now (we’re about half and half) but I the condemnation of a manel would be distorting.

Bethanyrberger,

@design_law Makes sense. And actually I agree, moderating is a lesser role, so if the charge of manel is appropriate it would apply regardless of the moderator.

This weekend, as a White shooter targeted and killed 11 Black people at a Dollar General in #Jacksonville, was not only the 60th anniversary of the #MarchonWashington but also the 63d anniversary of Jacksonville’s Ax Handle Saturday, when 200 Whites armed with ax handles attacked Black people after youth staged peaceful sit-ins at lunch counters. #racism

Seeking collective wisdom. The article I hoped to submit for publication at the beginning of August is still a few weeks from done. Should I even bother now or just move on to other projects (which I'm behind on) and submit in the next cycle?

Bethanyrberger,

@design_law thanks for the info—good luck!

    My son tested positive for last weekend for the first time for either of us. We had been pretty consistent about masking but I had let him slip in camp last week. He’s getting better & I’m isolating & hoping for no long COVID. In any case, folks, rates are rising.

    Texas sent 37 migrants, including 15 children and a three-week-old infant, by bus into Los Angeles during tropical storm Hilary.

    As LA Mayor Karen Bass says, evil.

    Yet more evidence the #abortion fight isn't about protecting children. #immigration #Texas #Hilary

    Nice! Mary Smith (Cherokee Nation) is the new President of the American Bar Association, the first Native woman to hold the position.
    From her plenary speech: "To be blunt, the very core of our society—our commitment to democracy—is under threat. It seems every day, assaults on the Constitution and the rule of law attack the legitimacy of the instruments of our law and democracy, eroding our dedication to them."
