The Center for Intellectual Property Research at Indiana University Maurer School of Law is sponsoring three conferences this fall on the state of patent law. At the first conference, coming up in just two weeks, I'll be speaking about inequitable conduct in the wake of Therasense v. Becton Dickinson and the way the new supplemental examination rules are likely to impact patent law. That conference features a panel discussion about what the AIA accomplished involving heavyweights in both academia (Mark Janis, John Duffy & Rochelle Dreyfuss) and industry (Mark Chandler, Gary Griswold, Doug Norman, and John Vaughn).
Full details on each conference are available by following the links.
