Examining Copyright

Write a short (250-500 word) blog post on a recent/ongoing copyright or patent case. You should include high-level information on the plaintiff and defendant, the technology in question, and the ruling if one has already happened.

You may write about the cases discussed in class but I encourage you to examine other cases. Some fairly recent examples are Waymo vs. Uber, ZeniMax vs. Oculus, CMU vs. Marvell Technology, NVIDIA vs. Qualcomm and Samsung, and the case of Artem Vaulin.

In addition to your summary of the case, include your personal analysis. Who was right? What sort of damages happened due to the defendant's alleged actions? What does the case suggest more broadly in terms of US policy?

You will peer-review three other student essays as part of this assignment. Be prepared to present your essay later in the week.
