He is a well known patent scholar who frequently uses an interdisciplinary l ens to shed new light on patent law. For example\, he has explored how th e philosophy of language explains the reach of patent rights into after-a rising technology\; how semiotics facilitates the reconceptualization of the long-standing\, yet poorly understood "printed matter doctrine" of pa tent law\; and how the philosophy of mind offers insights into the econom ics of allowing newly invented human thought to be eligible for patent pr otection. A licensed architect\, Professor Collins is also interested in pioneering the field of "law and architecture"—the study of how the bui lt environment ("architecture") affects individual and group behavior and how\, in turn\, law might opt to regulate the construction of the built environment to harness its behavior-sculpting capacity—in the legal aca demy. Before law school\, Professor Collins earned a bachelor's degree i n molecular biophysics and biochemistry from Yale College and a master's degree in Architecture from Columbia University. He then worked as a lead designer and project architect for Bernard Tschumi Architects of New Yor k City and Paris\, France. After earning his law degree\, he clerked for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor\, while she served on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in New York City\, and for the H on. Raymond C. Clevenger on the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals in Washi ngton\, D.C. \;About Intellectual Property in the Trees (https://la w.lclark.edu/programs/intellectual_property_law/ip_in_the_trees/) \;L ewis &\; Clark Law School is proud to host this scholarly workshop ser ies that brings a mix of senior scholars and rising stars to our campus f or enriching\, challenging conversations with our faculty and our student s.The Intellectual Property in the Trees workshop series is made possible through the generous support of Kay Kitagawa and Andy Johnson-Laird.
