Friday food for thought: Upcoming seminars

I’ve got a few speaking engagements in the coming months that readers of Promote the Progress might be interested in. On August 25th, I’ll be speaking at Dunes CLE’s Current Issues in Patent Law in Las Vegas. I’ll be presenting an update on legislative, administrative, and judicial activities relating to patent policy in 2006 (think the Patent Act of 2005, …the Patent Reform Act of 2006, the PDQ Act, the proposed rules, eBay, and other developments). Doug is also speaking at this event (on a topic near and dear to our hearts - strategic patenting initiatives).

You can still register for the Dunes CLE here.

We’re also in the preliminary stages of putting together a conference in January specifically designed for in-house counsel. The program will be aimed at helping in-house attorneys develop effective patent strategies in these times of change, including prosecution and portfolio management strategies. I’ll be on a panel with Doug and Stephen the Barista for this conference, which will be in New York City. I’ll post additional details when they are available.
