Code & Conduit Podcast by Bloomberg BNAEpisode 32: Talking Blockchain Patents with Ropes & GrayNew tech innovations usually spur a wave of companies competing to win patents for their inventions.
But with budding blockchain technology, the decision to patent isn’t always easy.
Blockchain was first created as the underpinning technology to crypocurrencies like bitcoin and ethereum, which use code that is free and open to anyone. Many blockchain developers still embrace this open source ethos and resist their companies’ attempts to patent their work, Ropes & Gray LLP Intellectual property litigation partner Leslie Spencer and attorney Marta Belcher told Bloomberg Law in a recent podcast episode of Code & Conduit.2018-08-1700 minCode & Conduit Podcast by Bloomberg BNAEpisode 31: Sen. Gary Peters Talks Self-driving Cars and Taking the Long Way on his MotorcycleSenators, industry and interest groups continue their negotiations over that chamber’s self-driving car bill AV START (S. 1885). Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.), one of the co-authors of the legislation, returned in August from a five-day motorcycle tour of Michigan where he had long stretches of road to think about how autonomous technology should be deployed.
We recently sat down with Senator Peters in his Washington office where we talked about his love of motorcycles: “My view is, if I have to go from Point A to Point B, why not do that on a motorcycle?”

It’s a longstanding issue. Women composed 10 percent of the cybersecurity profession in 2013, and the number rose to just 14 percent in 2017. That’s according to the 2017 Global Information Security Workforce Study, a white paper by Frost & Sullivan that compiled data from more than 19,000 respondents in 170 countries.

The underpinnings of the developing technology, which acts like an inerasable, chronological database of transactions, appear to be at odds with a 20 year-old law that protects copyright holders from infringement.
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) allows copyright holders to seek removal of infringing content and protects publishers and internet service providers from liability if they remove such content after being notified. But if the infringing content is posted on a blockchain, it would be difficult or impossible to erase, Bloomberg Law reporter Alexis Kramer said in a re...2018-06-1800 min
Mercatus Policy DownloadWhat Do ICOs Mean for the Future of Financial Markets?Depending on who you ask, Initial Coin Offerings, or ICOs, are a scam, a brilliant new way for cryptocurrency companies to raise startup money, a sneaky way to get around securities regulations, or some combination of the above. What we do know for sure is that ICOs are garnering a lot of attention these days. China outright banned them last year, and the SEC recently launched its own “HowieCoin,” a fake ICO meant to steer potential investors away from scams.

Federal courts have raised the bar for the evidence needed to file a patent infringement case in recent years.
