Save the Date: Eighth Annual Intellectual Property Scholars Conference

The Program in Law, Science & Technology at Stanford Law School will host the Eighth Annual Intellectual Property Scholars Conference on August 7-8, 2008.  Please save the date!

The IP Scholars Conference brings together intellectual property scholars to present their works-in-progress in order to benefit from the critique of colleagues.  The conference is co-sponsored by the Berkeley Center for Law and Technology, UC Berkeley School of Law; the
Intellectual Property Law Program, Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University; the Center for Intellectual Property Law and Information Technology, DePaul University College of Law; and the Stanford Program in Law, Science & Technology, Stanford Law School.

IPSC 2008 will include both plenary and breakout sessions. The conference will have space for 6-7 plenary presentations and approximately 65 presentations in the breakout sessions which will run  on parallel tracks. To the extent possible, break-out sessions will be scheduled in thematic clusters and avoid obvious topic or interest "conflicts."

The IPSC format is designed to facilitate free-ranging discussion and to help scholars hone their ideas. Papers presented should be works in progress that can benefit from substantial commentary and revision. Because of the importance of group discussion, we ask that attendees and presenters plan to stay for the entire conference.  Information on presenting will be available soon.

There is no charge to attend the conference. Conference presenters and attendees are expected to pay for transportation and lodging. Hotel arrangements will be announced shortly.

Stanford Law School will provide complimentary food and drink throughout the conference, including the IP Scholars Dinner on Thursday, August 7, 2008.  Space is limited at the dinner - early registration for the conference will be encouraged in order to reserve
a spot.
