Spencer Fane attorney Homayoon Rafatijo led a webinar for The Fly-Bottle on December 10.
During the event, Frozen in Time: The Static Nature of Legal Texts and the Controversy Surrounding Dobbs, Homayoon discussed the challenges of faithfully interpreting legal texts such as the U.S. Constitution with the aim of preserving the original intent of their drafters. Focusing on the U.S. Supreme Court’s controversial decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, Homayoon explained jurisprudential tools that judges should utilize to interpret documents such as the Constitution.
The Fly-Bottle is a nonprofit, community-run social network for Farsi-speaking scholars in the humanities, arts, and social sciences. The organization aims to create a forum to disseminate academic ideas to the public sphere.
At Spencer Fane, Homayoon utilizes his scientific background, technical knowledge, and legal acumen to identify the protectable scope of a client’s intellectual property portfolio and represent them in their most complex intellectual property disputes. His knowledge spans areas such as artificial intelligence inventorship/authorship, the constitutional foundations of intellectual property rights, and estoppel doctrines.
