You are invited to attend the Eleventh Annual Institute for Intellectual Property and Social Justice (IIPSJ) CLE Seminar. The two-day program will be held at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center (NASA), One Tranquility Base, Huntsville Alabama, 35805, and is presented by IIPSJ and Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner, LLP, and hosted by The University of Alabama in Huntsville College of Business Administration.
The continuing convergence of the major forms of IP protection makes it essential that IP lawyers keep pace with important developments in multiple areas of IP practice. Today’s IP attorneys must stay abreast of relevant changes in the law and major progressions in IP jurisprudence.
Moreover, the need for fresh, innovative approaches to new IP challenges spurs the demand for diversity in the IP bar. To meet the evolving needs of today’s IP practitioners, creators, developers, and distributors, IIPSJ presents a comprehensive two-day program, through which seasoned attorneys can enhance their skills, experienced minority and women attorneys can reach wider audiences, and aspiring IP practitioners can enjoy a unique and affordable opportunity to become familiar with key IP principles and important controversies of the day.
