corporate law and my coursework can be viewed on my resume.
Below are some class papers

Broadband Networks and Convergence
Broadband Regulation for Service Delivery:
Changes
in technology have resulted in changes in the telecommunications market. Today, all services are data/info that can be
carried over data capable infrastructure.
The new technology is resulting in a multi-competitor market instead of
the monopoly market that the old regulation is premised upon. This market transformation, does not allow
for the effective deployment of broadband or the achievement of social goals
through the use of the present regulations.
Thus, regulations must be changed to fit the new technology and market.

Technology Licensing
Cross-Licensing:
Litigation
is a distraction from a company’s focus on issues of developing and selling its
technology. Settling and licensing
allows a company to stop investing its time and resources in litigation. Cross-licensing also eliminates the large
risks and gives a company a predictable result.
Cross-licensing
is accelerating innovations by licensors and licensees in post-licensing
periods by increasing innovation possibilities available to each other, through
an increase in the companies’ patent portfolio size and technological
categories. This cumulative innovation
benefit of cross-licensing is most apparent in industries with highly
complementary patents, such as semiconductors.
