It's great to be here deep in the center of the Center for Internet and Society, and to have my blog up and running too. As you can see in my bio, I come here after having practiced intellectual property litigation at Kirkland & Ellis LLP just a bit north of here in San Francisco. As I start my time here, I'm doing some research on the current state of business method patents, and what should be done about them. I'm also looking forward to the new cases we plan to bring this year, like a lawsuit dealing with those evil twin invaders -- spyware and adware.
Stanford Center for Internet and Society
In the heart of the Silicon Valley, legal doctrine is emerging that will determine the course of civil rights and technological innovation for decades to come. The Center for Internet and Society (CIS), housed at Stanford Law School and a part of the Law, Science and Technology Program, is at the apex of this evolving area of law.
It's good to be here
