The American Bar Association is hosting the "23rd Annual Intellectual Property Law Conference" in Arlington, Virginia on April 10 - 12, 2008.

Now in its 23rd year, the Annual Intellectual Property Law Conference of the ABA Section of Intellectual Property Law provides a gathering of the foremost authorities on the state of intellectual property law, including judges, government officials, in-house counsel, academics, and private practitioners.

The conference is recognized for its national and international scope and preeminent programming. It attracts IP practitioners from across the nation and around the world.

The past year has seen critical developments in IP law. Its practitioners face new issues, new areas of practice, and a growing globalism, which places more demands than ever on their knowledge and skills.

Our most ambitious conference to-date meets your needs. It is comprehensive two and one-half day program featuring prominent speakers from across the IP law spectrum.

As in past years, the ABA Section of Science & Technology Law joins as a co-sponsor of the conference. A special session on new media and royalty issues will also be co-sponsored with the ABA Forum on the Entertainment and Sports Industries.

Special sessions on Corporate Counsel Issues, Ethics Issues, and Litigation Skills Training will also be offered.

In addition to the collaborative efforts above, a special reception will be held at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
