Award-winning educator and IP advocate Daryl Lim joins Bruce Berman to explore the intersection of artificial intelligence and intellectual property education. Broadcasting from Singapore, Daryl shares his global perspective on how AI is reshaping IP frameworks, from the $1.5 billion Anthropic settlement to the emergence of new data rights. This conversation examines IP leadership challenges, the role of blockchain in patent processes, and why marginalized communities need better access to intellectual property protection. Daryl discusses China's rapid IP development, the importance of equity by design in technology governance, and practical startup IP strategies for navigating an increasingly complex landscape.

Key Takeaways:

• AI and IP rights are fundamentally interconnected and evolving together
• The $1.5 billion Anthropic case settlement sets precedent at $3,000 per book
• IP leadership requires moving ahead of trends, not following them
• China has transformed from IP pirate nation to major player in 20 years
• Blockchain technology can reduce friction in IP transactions
• Universities became IP believers after the Bayh-Dole Act enabled monetization
• Content creators must embrace technology as ally, not enemy
• Government frameworks should align AI development with societal values
• Patent education and copyright training need to be more inclusive
• Small creators need better tools to participate in large-scale licensing
