a reminder to all law students: you don't need a STEM background to be an IP lawyer--only utility patent prosecution requires patent bar passage (which requires you completed a particular major or sufficient hours of study in a STEM field):

i really enjoyed speaking with @gracesnelling at @fastcompany, who has been working on a series of interviews with experts on personal brand & shares wisdom from a range of voices on the topic in her most recent piece: fastcompany.com/91611379/per…

influencers and creatives are increasingly suing others for infringing their "personal brand"--i wrote about the trend in this article, which is forthcoming in @IllinoisLR next year

excited to get feedback on this law review article that i've been working on for almost 37 zacharias 😓
