Well, I\u2019ve taken four one-hour exams in two days and they have been a blast. Not really.<\/p>\n
The first exam yesterday was Intro to Chinese Law, which would be better named Intro to Chaos. It asked us to briefly describe the Chinese legal system and then talk about a case that pertained to the Chinese Constitution. The main thing you need to know about the Chinese Constitution is that it does not carry a great deal of weight. It\u2019s more of a supplementary document than a preemptive one.<\/p>\n
The second exam yesterday was Technology Licensing & IP Management. This was my favorite class, and taking the exam wasn\u2019t so bad. Our first fact pattern prompted us with a patent licensing issue in which we were to play the licensing expert and guide our clients, Gina and Sam, through the negotiation and licensing process. I don\u2019t remember the other questions.<\/p>\n
I was least looking forward to today\u2019s first exam, World Trade. The course was difficult to follow and covered more material than should be covered in a ten-course class. While the material was potentially interesting, it is difficult to convince myself I got anything from it.<\/p>\n
This afternoon\u2019s Contemporary Issues in Copyright exam was almost enjoyable. The first question asked if we thought a court would find that Google\u2019s use of copyrighted wroks for its Book Search Project would be found to be fair use under \u00a7107 of the U.S. Copyright Act. I say yes, I think so. The second question asked us to differentiate between the principles of two major cases regarding contributory infringement of online service providers. This wasn\u2019t bad, either.<\/p>\n
The lask exam tomorrow morning is Intro to Chinese IP. Can\u2019t wait to be done.<\/p>\n
Other than studying a bunch, I\u2019ve managed to watch all of Clark and Michael – a ten-episode series about and by Clark Duke and Michael Cera trying to get a show picked up. Michael Cera played George Michael on the hilarious \u201cArrested Development,\u201d which was unfortunately canceled after just three years. Clark is his best friend.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve also joined Pownce, which is like the Twitter service I already use, but has more features I don\u2019t really like.<\/p>\n
And I\u2019m looking forward to having time to watch the cheap DVDs I\u2019ve bought over here, including Transformers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
