🔎 Why Japan's problem is a people problem ➡️

'A shrinking population means Japan’s transition from a manufacturing-based economy to one driven by intellectual property is crucial. However, the shift is complicated by the limited talent-base needed for innovation and growth in IP industries.

Changes in population dynamics lie at the heart of many of Japan's socioeconomic challenges, affecting both supply and demand sides, and the IP sector is no exception. In fact, as something driven by human ingenuity, it’s arguably even more susceptible to the imperatives of demography ...'

🔎 'As lawsuits stemming from the Cambridge Analytica scandal reach some of the world’s highest courts, Meta Platforms continues to pour legal resources into fighting regulators across the globe.

🌎 Many but not all of its legal issues are centered in North America, where Meta in recent days asked the Supreme Court of Canada to reverse an appeals court decision in a lawsuit stemming from the nearly decade-old breach just as the US Supreme Court sidestepped ruling on if US shareholders could sue the company for allegedly misleading statements in a 2016 securities filing.

💻 Meta and its founder Mark Zuckerberg are still dealing with the unprecedented privacy breach due to the company’s liberal data-sharing policies with third-party applications that exposed about 87 million users’ information to a British political data-mining firm. That ultimately blew up into the 2018 Cambridge Analytica scandal, triggering ongoing litigation across North America and in Australia ...'

🔎 'Not long after the dawn of the commercial Internet, a small, newly minted company called Google triggered legal battles about whether US law prevented two key innovations.

One was a dispute over whether Google’s display of “thumbnail” versions of images in search results infringed copyright to the original image. In the other, Google launched a project to scan the world’s books to transmute words on paper into a searchable database, “a card catalog for the digital age."

Each disputed use was ultimately ruled by US courts to be a transformative fair use, though the Google Books case took a decade, ending only in 2015.

A generation after those skirmishes started, the US court system is in the first stages of what is likely to be an extended battle that could ultimately reach the Supreme Court, all about the use of massive volumes of data —including copyrighted works such as books and music, as well as personal data — to train generative large language models ...'

🔎 'The US Federal Trade Commission’s unanimous vote to approve a final version of mandatory US antitrust paperwork for dealmakers was the result of difficult and protracted negotiations between Democratic and Republican commissioners. The final version is pared down from the original June 2023 proposal, which would have dramatically expanded the scope of the information demands placed on merging parties.'

💡 Amnesty vs automation — how are companies preparing for regulation?

🔎 'Companies wanting to embrace new technologies must also embrace new regulation for them in more jurisdictions. Technologies to check the compliance of these technologies are now available, but they can’t assess someone from marketing taking out their own smartphone to run a task through . New tech needs to be paired with traditional remedies.'
