IP Committee Activities

The IP Committee Virtual Roundtable discussion occurs the 2nd Wednesday of each month via ZOOM from 12:00-1:00 p.m., visit the calendar for the zoom link.  Join your fellow committee members to share notes about all things IP and meet (or reconnect with) your peers in the IP Community. There is no formal agenda, but a typical Roundtable discussion includes: brief introductions, a presentation on an IP topic of interest, and open discussion to share news, ask and answer questions the group may have about new developments in IP, the courts, procedures before the PTO or judges, cases you are handling, or anything else of interest.

Please contact the IP Committee Chair if you are interested in presenting on a particular topic during the Monthly Virtual Roundtable or adding an item for discussion to the agenda.

Reminders and sign up links will be sent out in advance of each Virtual Roundtable.
