Intellectual Property Events

Several times a year, Chicago-Kent’s Intellectual Property program hosts or participates in major annual events that keep students, alumni, and faculty up to date on current issues related to IP law and allow them to network and converse with other leaders in the field. This list does not include the numerous events coordinated by Chicago-Kent’s IP student organization, the IP Law Society. Some of the major school-sponsored events include:
