Save the date for our 64th Annual IP Conference – Friday, November 13, 2020! Chair of our advisory board and former Federal Circuit Chief Judge Paul Michel will deliver the keynote address.
This year’s recognition continues an eighty-year tradition of offering our students the best quality IP education available. Law students aspiring to an IP-focused career, as well as law and non-law students aspiring to specialize in other areas, know the UIC John Marshall experience offers them an important competitive advantage. With the steadfast support of the university and Law School, we strive not only to observe the IP world around us but also to continue to be a constructive player in it.
Now in its 11th year, we’ll be offering an ethics seminar focused on intellectual property law. We’ll be taking that seminar online this year! We hope that as with our recent conference on digital platforms, this new format will allow many more people to benefit from the insights that our conference faculty will share on Friday, June 5, 2020.
Earlier this week, I posted the first part of our tribute to Michele Bridges, our former Executive Director, featuring former Federal Circuit Chief Judge Michel and former Center Director Richard Gruner: https://bit.ly/3aug7PB. During her time with us, Michele touched many other lives, including those of students, adjuncts, and partners both in the U.S. and abroad. A few wrote to us. With their permission, I am pleased to share their tributes.
Pleased to see UIC John Marshall Law School’s Intellectual Property (IP) Law program recognized as one of the best in the nation for the fourth year in a row by preLaw Magazine. It received an A+ grade.

On Friday, we hosted our first-ever completely online conference. It seemed appropriate that our conference focused on legal and policy issues arising from digital platforms. Given the strong interest by attendees who signed up earlier, we decided on Wednesday to migrate the event online. Surprisingly, we soon received inquiries from China, Europe, India, and elsewhere, and were glad that many more folks were able to join us.
Join us for our Digital Platforms Conference (Completely Online)!
