Scalia Law’s Intellectual Property Center Hosts 2022 Annual Fall Conference

9.5 hours of VA CLE approved

WHAT:

George Mason University Antonin Scalia Law School’s Center for Intellectual Property x Innovation Policy (C-IP²) is hosting its Annual Fall Conference—entitled IP on the Wane: Examining the Impacts as IP Rights Are Reduced—on September 22-23, 2023. The conference will be co-hosted with the Global Antitrust Institute and the National Security Institute at Mason.

WHY:

After decades of efforts by some to slow the perceived expansion of intellectual property rights (IPR) around the globe, policymakers and courts in a number of countries have responded by placing greater limitations on IPR. Now that such limits have been in effect for a few years, researchers have been able to start measuring the impact on innovators, creators, and the overall economy. C-IP²’s Annual Fall Conference brings together leading researchers, policymakers, creators, and innovators to share their experiences and results.

WHERE:

The conference will be hosted in person only at Mason Square (formerly the Arlington Campus) in Arlington, VA. Please visit our conference website to learn more and to register: https://cip2.gmu.edu/conferences-events/2022-fall-conference/. Registration for members of the press is free.

Friday, September 23, 2022: 9 AM – 5 PM EDT (Breakfast and registration begin at 8 AM)
