Law

¶¶ Hello, and welcome to Ipsi Dixit, a podcast on legal scholarship.

I'm your host, Brian L. Frye, professor of law at Tulane University School of Law.

My guests are Scott Guthrie, an inventor and patent advisor, Julie Burke, the founder of IP Equality Pro, and Michael Risch, professor of law at Villanova University, Charles Woodger School of Law.

We will discuss their new book, Unfettered Invention, How the Expatents Sparked Early American Technology, which is published by Docent Press.

So welcome to the show, Scott, Julie, Michael.

Based on that article, Scott and Julie reached out saying, hey, we've got this book we're working on about these patents.

Are you interested? And I was like, sure.

I thought I was just going to write a chapter about law at the time.

100%.

Um, You know, I wrote a white paper on this, you know, the Maslow's law, you know, kind of building off the Maslow's law of hierarchy.

And, you know, when you think of Maslow's law, it's all about food, shelter, water, right? And the fourth part, what I was advocating was that financial compensation from claims, right? Because if you've got money, probably pay for the other three and health care, and that will take care of your well-being.

But when a service member walks through those gates for the final time, now they've lost their financial security.

They lost their health care.

And here's what the, I'll use a term that the VFW have called these folks.

And that term is claim sharks.

Okay, so the difference between the claim shark and anybody who's a VA accredited lawyer, agent, or VSO is this.

So I think one natural next question after thinking about AIs trading on prediction markets is asking questions about AIs and property rights, AIs as business owners and agents that can contract.

You've said in a blog post that that we should prefer law to values when it comes to getting AIs on our side.

That was a while ago.

That was a while ago.

And my point in this post from a long time ago is to say, this isn't how we make humans nice to each other.

We ask how humans are nice to each other.

We say we use law and norms to make us be nice to each other.

Now, yes, having appropriate matching values can help norms be obeyed and enforced, but more fundamentally, it's about having and enforcing the norms and less about what somebody would value in the absence of such norms.

That's what we want to talk about right now.

E mais ainda, humildade de tá sempre aprendendo, a humildade de tá sempre buscando conhecimento.

Eu formei em Engenharia Mecânica já com meus vinte e poucos anos e aos quarenta e sete resolvi fazer faculdade de Direito.

Tava atrás de, de, de uma nova oportunidade, de, de novas conquistas, de entender um pouco de como funcionava esse, esse universo do Direito.

E aí hoje eu sou engenheiro e sou advogado.

E eu busquei conhecimento, e a minha vida inteira eu busquei conhecimento.

So let's try this one more time, okay? Because if you're not going to tell the truth about the little things, the big things are going to make me concerned.
