Continuing to Evolve

A

s 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 read-

ers 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 con-

tent 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 dra-

matically 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 con-

sidered 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 com-

munity 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 govern

-

ment, 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.
