On Wednesday, with the Business School’s Technology Business Group:
IP & VC : Identifying Issues for the Nascent Innovator
April 2, 2008 @ 6:00 P.M., reception to follow, in Warren (WJWH) 310

Three panelists - a lawyer, a client, and a venture capitalist- will join us to discuss IP in early phase startups and online services.

On Tuesday (4/1) at 6:30, in conjunction with NYU’s ILI student group, we’ll be hosting the InfoLaw Reading Group, discussing government transparency. Light food will be served with drinks/socializing afterwards. Join our email list for notification of the location.

The VC panel is sponsored in part by Fish and Richardson, and both events are sponsored in part by Student Senate with funds from the Student Activities Fee.

The campus is hosting two upcoming events that should be interesting for anyone interested in science and technology.

On Wed., Feb. 6th, from 12:00 to 2:00, Fish and Richardson will be having a discussion on “Opportunities in IP, Litigation, and Corporate Law” at the Columbia Faculty House at 400 W. 117th St. Lunch will be served. RSVP by Feb. 1st to Brynne Lehner at lehner@fr.com.

On Fri., Feb. 8th, from 9 to 5:45, the Kernochan Center will be hosting a symposium on “Fair Use: ‘Incredibly Shrinking’ or Extraordinarily Expanding?” in JGH. Lunch will be served. More details, including a full schedule, speaker list, and registration details (must register by 1/31) are available at the Kernochan Center’s website.

SLST hopes to see many of you at both events; as usual, you can keep an eye on our upcoming events at our calendar - the full schedule for the semester should be appearing there soon!

Other events in the pipeline:

• Careers in Law Panel: meet IP lawyers from across Manhattan and New York discussing their work and how to follow in their footsteps.
• Patent Reform Panel: top patent lawyers discuss the current proposed patent reforms and the impact of recent Supreme Court rulings on those reforms.

Dates and details coming soon!
