You are invited to celebrate the Tenth Anniversary of The Institute for Intellectual Property and Social Justice (IIPSJ) Seminar. The two-day program will be held on the campus of Howard University School of Law at 2900 Van Ness Street, N.W., Washington, DC, and is presented by IIPSJ and Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner, LLP.
The continuing convergence of the major forms of IP protection has made it essential that IP lawyers keep pace with important developments in multiple areas of IP practice. Today’s IP attorneys keep abreast of relevant changes in the law and often find knowledge of major developments 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.
