Faculty news: Prof. Mark Janis (@ciprmaurer).

Had a great time interviewing the exceptional @IUCoachAsh, IU Women's BB, to get a coach's perspective on the NIL issue, for last night's program at the Plager IP Inn of Court. All of the IP lawyers in Indy now want to go back to school to play ball for @IUCoachAsh. #iuwbb

Great to hear new work on the PTAB from @emptydoors at yesterday’s IP Colloquium here at Maurer. Interesting discussion; great questions from the students.

On behalf of CIPR and IPA, thank you to Profs. Kevin Brown, Don Knebel, and Shana Wallace and IU Women's Basketball coach Ashley Williams for a wonderful panel discussion on NCAA antitrust & NIL licensing issues for collegiate athletes.

Excited to announce the publication of the Research Handbook on #Trademark Law Reform, my latest project with the incomparable @GraemeBD, featuring original scholarship from a star-studded cast of trademark scholars: e-elgar.com/shop/gbp/resea…
