Two Upcoming Conferences

Spring is the time for IP law conferences…and fortunately, spring is almost here.  (I’m trying to be willfully blind to forecasters’ projections that it’s going to be -5 here in Iowa in a few days).  Two conferences coming up next week:

Summit on Law in the Global Marketplace:

On Monday, February 24, the University of California Hastings College of the Law, the Berkeley Center for Law and Technology, and Hogan Lovells are hosting a one-day summit on Law in the Global Marketplace: Intellectual Property and Related Issues at UC Hastings.  Speakers include Judge Rader, the Hon. Sung-Mei Hsiung, High Court Judge, Taiwan Intellectual Property Court, and Mark Jackson, Senior Patent Counsel for Genentech.  Details are available here: [Law and the Global Marketplace Registration]

(I’m told that the event is currently sold-out, but they’re keeping a waitlist.  Folks interested in the program can contact Chris Mammen at chris.mammen@hoganlovells.com for more details.).

Next Thursday and Friday, the Northwestern Journal of Technology & Intellectual Property is hosting its annual symposium.  They have a great lineup of speakers, including F. Scott Kieff of the International Trade Commission, Michael Friedman of Ocean Tomo, Kevin Noonan of MBHB (and one of the coauthors of PatentDocs, Jane Ginsburg of Columbia Law School, and many others.  The Friday program will provide 3.75 CLE credits.  More information is available here: http://scholarlycommons.law.northwestern.edu/njtip_symposium/SCHEDULE/Schedule_2014/
