Congratulations to Mitchell Stock and Francisco Quiroz, winners of the State Bar’s 2011 IP Writing Competition. Stock won first place for his paper entitled “Hypothetical, Actual, or Footstar: How the Courts Should Handle Patent and Copyright Licenses in Chapter 11 Bankruptcy.” Quiroz took second for “The Decline of Fair Use: How the DMCA Marginalized Fair Use and What To Do About It.” This adds to a recent tradition of strong showings by Marquette law students in the competition.
Congrats Paco and Mitch! You both certainly are “gentlem[e]n and scholar[s], kids.” I look forward to reading your articles and keeping up with whatever forthcoming awesome accolade you receive in IP and ADR.
