A specialist in copyright, intellectual property, and cyberspace aspects of intellectual property, Professor Reese currently holds the Thomas W. Gregory Professorship in Law at the University of Texas at Austin. He will spend this year as a visiting professor at Stanford teaching three classes: IP in Cyberspace, Property and Contract Go Hi-Tech, and IP: Trademark. Professor Reese’s connection to Stanford and the Bay Area runs quite deep. He received his JD from Stanford Law School in 1995 and acted as a Research Fellow in Stanford’s Program in Law, Science & Technology from 1998-99. Prior to his fellowship, he clerked for the Judge Betty Fletcher on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and practiced intellectual property law with Morrison & Foerster. Indeed, Professor Reese is still affiliated with Morrison & Foerster’s San Francisco office as special counsel. His publications include “Reducing Digital Copyright Infringement without Restricting Innovation” (Stanford Law Review, 2004) (with Mark A. Lemley). He has also written about copyright’s first-sale doctrine (Boston College Law Review, 2003), digital rights management (Berkeley Technology Law Journal, 2003), the public display right in copyright law (University of Illinois Law Review, 2001), copyright and Internet music transmissions (University of Miami Law Review, 2001), and state sovereign immunity and intellectual property law (Texas Law Review, 2001) (coauthor). |
