   Abdi Lopez Martinez


In honor of World Intellectual Property Day, we're spotlighting one of our most globally ambitious episodes.

Abdi Lopez (2L) sat down with James "Jim" Pooley — IP Hall of Famer, 50-year Silicon Valley trial lawyer, and former Deputy Director General of WIPO — alongside ASU Law's own Professor Jon Kappes, patent practitioner and nationally recognized IP educator.

They go inside the international patent system, unpack the North-South divide in global IP law, and challenge the assumptions U.S. law students carry into every IP course.
