Talk:Robin Feldman

Bringing this article up to date

DISCLOSURE: I have a conflict of interest in making these suggestions, in that I am an employee of the Center for Innovation (C4i) at UC Law, which is directed by Professor Feldman. My goal here is to bring the list of her research up to date and to correct a few details which are inaccurate (such as the name of the AI Law & Innovation Institute). I will work to limit myself to purely factual additions. Where any bias slips into my suggestions, please feel free to push back.

I propose the following corrections and updates:

1. In the sidebar, the "Institutions" section should list UC Law San Francisco (formerly University of California, Hastings College of Law). Currently the old name is used.

2. Under Academic career, in the paragraph beginning "She is the Director...", three primary areas of focus are listed that include the "AI & Capital Markets Initiative". That initiative no longer exists, but a new are of focus related to AI does: the "AI Law & Innovation Institute". I suggest that this name be subbed in place of the old initiative, with a citation to this external page naming the three C4i initiatives: https://www.uclawsf.edu/center-for-innovation/

3. Feldman has written a fifth book - AI Versus IP: Rewriting Creativity (Cambridge University Press, 2025). It should be listed under Publications, as well as under Selected Publications - Books. As a source for a description of the book, I suggest its page from the publisher: (https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/ai-versus-ip/753B0C776CBB12D667E557506BF21089#fndtn-information)

A short excerpt might be, "AI Versus IP: Rewriting Creativity explains how artificial intelligence (AI) threatens to erode all of intellectual property (IP) – patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, and rights of publicity."

4. Selected journal articles - I recommend that these be placed in reverse chronological order, as the books have been. In addition, I recommend adding these additional articles to the list:

- Pharmaceutical Mergers: Do We Have the Right Cure? (with Gideon Schor, Yaniv Konchitchki, and Tanziuzzaman Sakib) (Columbia Science & Technology Law Review (2026) Source: https://journals.library.columbia.edu/index.php/stlr/article/view/14544/7965

5. Starting description: Currently completely excludes her work on AI, which is a major element of her scholarship. I recommend adding one sentence at the end:

"Since 2004, she has written extensively about algorithms and AI." [Citations]

6. In the paragraph beginning "Feldman briefed the Senate Committee..." there is another entry to add to the list:

"...and the Senate Judiciary Committee on Intellectual Property about transparency in patent ownership in 2021" (Source: https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Feldman%20Testimony.pdf) C4i Communications (talk) 21:00, 4 June 2026 (UTC)
