2012 TIP Conference Lineup

The Technology and Intellectual Property Group at the University of Toronto Faculty of Law will be hosting the 2012 TIP Conference this week. The conference will run February 13th to 16th from 12:30 PM to 2:00 PM each day in FLB.

This year’s conference focuses on recent developments in patent law, including pharmaceutical patents and non-practicing entities.  We have invited a variety of speakers to discuss these topics – patent litigators, industry representatives, professors who specialize in intellectual property, and even a Federal Court justice.  Whether you’ve wanted to litigate patents since you could walk, you just want to get an idea of what patents are all about, or you want to find out whether you can patent your course summaries, there is something for everyone!

Monday, February 13th – Introduction to Patents, featuring Professor David Vaver, Professor Paul Grootendorst, and David Ng 

Tuesday, February 14th – Non-Practicing Entities, featuring the President and General Counsel for i4i, Michel Vulpe and Richard Owens, and Bhupinder Randhawa
