Continuing to Evolve
As we begin our tenth anniversary year, Landslide magazine keeps putting an eye on our industry and practice. While intellectual property evolves, so do we by bringing our readers the most current issues and highest quality content in fresh ways.
This flagship publication, a benefit of Section membership, is dedicated to covering and analyzing the subjects in all areas of IP law and to presenting content that informs, educates, and provides solutions for best practice. We continue to address the changing IP world.
Our premier issue began with “Virtual Worlds,” a hot topic then that has dramatically expanded in this decade. In that issue, Tom Goldstein wrote about how the US Supreme Court pressed the Federal Circuit to consider the question of obviousness more flexibly and more cost-effectively. In our first issue, we considered the results of the TEACH Act for its effects on long-distance learning, and we presented the question “Traditional Contours of Copyright: Silver Lining or Storm Clouds?” Look how much has changed since then.
We are proud that Landslide magazine has reached such high recognition in the IP community and beyond. This publication will keep challenging readers as we watch and analyze all the developments in the IP industry and practice, in all branches of government, and in the courts.
It is fitting that this anniversary issue presents growth and changing perspectives: looking at the history of the US Court of Federal Claims, addressing the effect of the fall of Form 18, and presenting a thought-provoking argument for computer inventorship.
On behalf of our Editorial Board, I am proud to greet you as Landslide magazine’s fifth editor-in-chief. We pledge to continue to provide you with superior content—and, always, a great read.
