David Levine is leading an effort among intellectual property law scholars to oppose legislation in Congress that he says threatens Internet commerce.

Elon Law professor David Levine, along with Mark Lemley, the William H. Neukom Professor at Stanford Law School, and David G. Post, professor of law at Temple University School of Law, have authored a letter to members of the United States Senate and House of Representatives to urge them to reject the PROTECT IP Act. The letter, now signed by 108 intellectual property and cyberlaw scholars, was sent to members of Congress on July 6.

Elon Law professors Scott Gaylord and Andy Haile co-authored the article, "Constitutional Threats in the E-Commerce Jungle: First Amendment and Dormant Commerce Clause Limits on Amazon Laws and Use Tax Reporting Statutes." The article was published in the September 2011 edition of the North Carolina Law Review.

Elon Law professor David Levine's article, "Transparency Soup: The ACTA Negotiating Process and 'Black Box' Lawmaking," has been published in the American University International Law Review, Volume 26, Number 3.

Elon Law professor David Levine's scholarly paper, "The Impact of Trade Secrecy on Public Transparency" is a chapter in the recently published book The Law and Theory of Trade Secrecy. Levine presented recently at the 11th Annual Intellectual Property Scholars Conference and at the Global Congress on Intellectual Property and the Public Interest.
