Professor Kumar is an expert in the application of administrative law to patent law. Her most recent article, Regulating Digital Trade (forthcoming, Fla. L. Rev.), was cited by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in ClearCorrect v. International Trade Commission. In that article, she argued that the ITC improperly expanded its jurisdiction by attempting to regulate digital information.
