Join us for CSU|LAW’s annual IP+ Conference—an unparalleled opportunity to learn from the nation’s top intellectual property law experts.
Our keynote speakers are Donald Chisum, author of Chisum on Patents—the leading treatise on U.S. patent law and co-founder of the Chisum Patent Academy—and Janice Mueller, co-founder of the Chisum Patent Academy, former law professor, and author of a leading Patent Law casebook. Also enjoy a fireside chat with the Honorable Richard Linn (Federal Circuit Court of Appeals) and the Honorable Kathleen M. O’Malley (retired, Federal Circuit Court of Appeals), followed by a State of IP panel featuring Chisum, Mueller, Linn, O’Malley, and Dennis Crouch (PatentlyO).
In the morning, you’ll hear engaging updates across cutting-edge areas of IP, including:
- IP and medicine
- IP in sports and entertainment
- Intellectual property finance
Throughout the day, expect captivating discussions, practical insights, and networking opportunities—whether you’re an experienced practitioner or just starting out. A special student networking lunch mid-day will foster connections between students and leaders in the field. CLE credit will be applied for. All panels will be streamed for the web as well.
