The University of Akron School of Law hosts The 17th Annual Symposium on Intellectual Property Law and Policy March 9, 2015.
This year’s symposium features a review of recent developments in the areas of patent, copyright and trademark law, as well as discussions of the new trademark legislation in China and of the legal, business and ethical issues confronting businesses dealing with personal information in light of recent movements in the European Union toward a digital “right to be forgotten”. The program also includes panel discussions focusing on intellectual property issues for small and emerging businesses and on recent developments in patent law.
The recently appointed Associate Register of Copyrights and Director of Registration Policy and Practice from the Copyright Office will provide the keynote luncheon address. Other speakers include noted judges, practitioners and academics who are experts in various areas of intellectual property law and practice.
