ASSOCIATE DEAN DARYL LIM PARTICIPATES IN HANSEN IP INSTITUTE CONFERENCE
April 2024 — Associate Dean Daryl Lim participated in a panel discussion on the Intellectual Property (IP)-Competition Interface at the annual Hansen IP Institute Conference held at Fordham University School of Law. Known as the “Davos of IP,” the conference provides an important forum for leaders in government, the judiciary, academia, and the private sector around the world to meet, discuss, and resolve current IP issues. The Institute promotes a legal realist approach to IP law in order to understand better what the law actually is and does and to predict where it is going. In doing so, it hopes to foster progress toward identifying and resolving issues of concern to the IP community.
Daryl Lim is the H. Laddie Montague Jr. Chair in Law at Penn State Dickinson Law. He is also the Associate Dean for Research and Innovation and Founding Director of the Intellectual Property (IP) Law and Innovation Initiative. At the university level, he is a co-hire at the Institute of Computational and Data Sciences and an affiliate at the Center for Socially Responsible Artificial Intelligence.
Professor Lim is an award-winning author, observer, and commentator on national and global trends in IP and competition policy and how they influence and are influenced by law, technology, economics, and politics. He helps policymakers, attorneys, corporate counsel, scholars, and the public understand the world around them. He is a founding member of the Global IP Alliance and its local chapters in Pennsylvania and Illinois. In addition, he serves as Co-Chair of the University Education Committee in the US IP Alliance. In December 2022, the American Law Institute elected Professor Lim to its membership based on demonstrated excellence and outstanding professional achievement. In 2023, the US Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission recognized him as “a leading expert in antitrust law and economics” and the IAM Strategy 300, a guide to the industry pioneers with “exceptional skill sets, as well as profound insights into the development, creation, and management of IP value,” named him to its World’s Leading IP Strategists 2023 list. In 2024, he was appointed to the consultative group advising the United Nations Secretary General’s High-Level Advisory Body on Artificial Intelligence.
