We’re delighted to recognize the American Antitrust Institute as an Institutional Partner of our flagship 64th Annual IP Conference.

Since its inception, AAI has created and shaped the modern “progressive antitrust” movement, with a focus on preserving a competitive economy through vigorous public and private enforcement of the antitrust laws.

AAI continues to be part of the bipartisan tradition that has supported the antitrust enterprise for over 125 years. It works across a network of the legal, economic, business, policy, and academic communities to develop positions that reflect clear-headed, informed, multidisciplinary, and progressive thinking about antitrust and competition policy.

Join us on Friday, November 13 to hear what AAI President Diana Moss has to say!

Dorien Clark (JD ’21) beat contenders nation-wide to clinch the 2020 AIPLA Past Presidents Award. The merit-based scholarship award recognizes a law student who has excelled in the study of intellectual property law.
Started in 2014, this is the first time a student from UIC John Marshall Law School has received the Award. Past Award winners include law students from Stanford Law School, the George Washington University School of Law, and Chicago-Kent College of Law, Illinois Institute of Technology. The AIPLA Past Presidents Award is given to the runner-up in the Jan Jancin Award competition and is open to rising second and third-year law students from diverse backgrounds who are underrepresented racial or ethnic minorities, who have expressed an interest in pursuing a career as an intellectual property lawyer, and who have engaged in activities reflecting that interest.
UIC Law attracts the most diverse student population in the Midwest and we have one the most established intellectual property programs in the country. Our IP Law Fellow Kyle Serilla identified Dorien as an outstanding member of our intellectual property student community. We worked closely with him to showcase those strengths to AIPLA. We are pleased that they agreed with us.

We’re delighted to recognize JAMS as a Silver level sponsor of our flagship 64th Annual IP Conference. We particularly appreciate their support during these uncertain times.
