SEPOCT- T- Nebel IPTournament: Heart of Texas | Round: 6 | Opponent: Westlake MR | Judge: Vishan Chaudhary Interpretation: intellectual property protections is a generic bare plural. The aff may not defend that member nations of the World Trade Organization reduce a subset of intellectual property protections for medicines.Nebel 19 Jake Nebel ~Jake Nebel is an assistant professor of philosophy at the University of Southern California and executive director of Victory Briefs.~ , 8-12-2019, "Genericity on the Standardized Tests Resolution," Briefly, https://www.vbriefly.com/2019/08/12/genericity-on-the-standardized-tests-resolution/ SM AND -value meaning and standard expectations about what LD resolutions tend to mean. It applies to IP protections:Upward entailment test – spec fails the upward entailment test because saying that nations ought to reduce one type of IPP does not entail that those nations ought to reduce all kinds of IPPAdverb test – adding "usually" to the res doesn’t substantially change its meaning because a reduction is universal and permanentViolation: They have a one and done approach which means they don’t ban all sort of IP- that’s their Feldman evidenceVote neg:Semantics outweigh:T is a constitutive rule of the activity and a basic aff burden – they agreed to debate the topic when they came hereJurisdiction – you can’t vote aff if they haven’t affirmed the resolutionOnly stasis point we know before the round so it controls the internal link to engagement – there’s no way to use ground if debaters aren’t prepared to defend itLimits – there are countless affs accounting for every kind of intellectual property protections, like tertiary patents, provisional patents, and design patents – unlimited topics incentivize obscure affs that negs won’t have prep on – limits are key to reciprocal prep burden – potential abuse doesn’t justify foregoing the topic and 1AR theory checks PICsGround – spec guts core generics like innovation that rely on reducing all kinds of IP for all medicines because individual types of IP don’t substantially affect the pharmaceutical industry – also means there is no universal DA to spec affsTVA solves – read as an advantage to whole rezParadigm issues:Drop the debater – their abusive advocacy skewed the debate from the startComes before 1AR theory – NC abuse is responsive to them not being topicalNo RVIs – fairness and education are a priori burdens – and encourages baiting – outweighs because if T is frivolous, they can beat it quicklyFairness is a voter ¬– necessary to determine the better debaterEducation is a voter – why schools fund debate | 10/17/21 |
SEPOCT- T- Nebel MedicinesTournament: Loyola | Round: 1 | Opponent: Malbrough JH | Judge: Asher Towner
Vote neg:
2. Limits – there are countless affs accounting for thousands of medicines – unlimited topics incentivize obscure affs that negs won’t have prep on – limits are key to reciprocal prep burden – potential abuse doesn’t justify foregoing the topic and 1AR theory checks PICs There are over 20,000 affs 3. Ground – spec guts core generics like innovation that rely on reducing IP for all medicines because individual medicines don’t affect the pharmaceutical industry broadly – also means there is no universal DA to spec affs 4. TVA solves – read as an advantage to whole rez Paradigm issues:

SEPOCT-NC-UtilTournament: Greenhill | Round: 4 | Opponent: Westlake AK | Judge: Gordon Krauss 1NC – FrameworkThe standard is maximizing expected wellbeing:Pleasure and pain are intrinsically valuableMoen 16 ~Ole Martin Moen, Research Fellow in Philosophy at University of Oslo "An Argument for Hedonism" Journal of Value Inquiry (Springer), 50 (2) 2016: 267–281~ SJDI AND places where we reach the end of the line in matters of value. Moreover, only pleasure and pain are intrinsically valuable. All other values can be explained with reference to pleasure; Occam’s razor requires us to treat these as instrumentally valuable.Moen 16 ~Ole Martin Moen, Research Fellow in Philosophy at University of Oslo "An Argument for Hedonism" Journal of Value Inquiry (Springer), 50 (2) 2016: 267–281~ SJDI AND why do they tend to point toward pleasure and away from pain?27 Moral uncertainty means preventing extinction should be our highest priority. | 9/18/21 |
SEPOCT-T- ExtraTournament: Heart of Texas | Round: 1 | Opponent: Westwood AG | Judge: Dillon Johnson 1NC – OffInterpretation: "medicine" isLexico ND ~(Lexico dictionary) https://www.lexico.com/definition/medicine~~ BC Violation: they’re extra T – beyond medicines, traditional knowledge includesBruchac 14 ~(Margaret, Coordinator, Native American and Indigenous Studies at the University of Pennsylvania, PhD in anthropology from the University of Massachusetts Amherst) "Indigenous Knowledge and Traditional Knowledge," Encyclopedia of Global Archaeology, 2014~ JL AND flintknapping, hide tanning, pottery-making, and concocting medicinal remedies). Net benefits:Limits – their interp justifies infinite affs that require entirely different case negs, from IP for pottery to IP for telescopes, which privileges the aff and prevents in-depth testingGround – they let the aff tack on infinite Frankenstein planks to skirt generics and artificially inflate solvency – and guts generics about medicine like the innovation, pharma politics, and health cooperation DAs

SEPOCT-T-ReduceTournament: Heart of Texas | Round: 1 | Opponent: Westwood AG | Judge: Dillon Johnson Interpretation: Reduce means a net decreasePublic Law 87-253 AND other action. which is a scheme or device to qualify for payment. Violation: aff doesn’t reduce ip on medicine but prohibit possibiliy of patentingIf there 0 existing patents in the squo and 0 under the aff whcihc means it isnt an example of a reductionPrefer –Limits – allowing affs that merely prohibit patenting mdedicines expodees the possible number of affs - makes neg prep impossible because the case neg to the an aff that eliminates patents and reduces patents would have no overlap — privileges the aff by stretching pre-tournament neg prep too thin and precluding nuanced rigorous testing of aff.Ground – not defending reduction kills links to core neg generics about drug innovation, competition over pharmaceutical development, bioterror DA, cap K. Pushes 1NCs to the fringes like Ks that disagree with everything or sketchy CPs which destroys clash.C/A paradigm issues | 10/16/21 |
