PROFESSOR DARYL LIM ORGANIZES THE “INNOVATION FORUM ON CAPITOL HILL”
February 2024 — Professor Daryl Lim organized the “Innovation Forum on Capitol Hill.” The Forum brought together leaders from across the three branches of the U.S. federal government to engage stakeholders on issues of central importance to the Nation’s security and competitiveness, inclusive innovation, drug pricing and environmental sustainability, and stakeholder collaboration as they relate to IP and innovation law and policy. Its closed-door, off-the-record, invitation-only format allowed stakeholders to frankly exchange ideas in a way that is normally not possible. Popular IP blog IPWatchdog referenced the Forum in IP and Innovation Initiative Board Member Suzanne Harrison’s article “Let’s Get on the Same Page: A Framework for Aligning Private and Government Goals on IP.”
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.
