UIC Engineering
IP law and engineering have many points of synergy. With John Marshall Law School now one of UIC’s 16 colleges, the time is ripe to explore how we can offer course, certificate, and degree tie-ups at the undergraduate, graduate, and executive education levels that maximize those points of synergy.
AlixPartners
Enjoyed meeting up with Anne Gron and Pablo Florian over lunch. Anne heads AlixPartners’ Chicago Office and Pablo serves as Alix’s Director. We had a frank and wide-ranging discussion, including on digital platforms and antitrust. Delighted that Anne accepted my invitation to speak at our upcoming conference on March 13. Looking forward to welcoming them both to UIC John Marshall Law School.

Digital Platforms: Innovation, Antitrust, Privacy & the Internet of Things
Online platforms have become a focal point for many in the United States, as well as in key jurisdictions around the world. Governments and legal advisers are struggling to understand the issues and implications these platforms raise, particularly in the areas of intellectual property, privacy, and antitrust law and practice.
This conference brings together top experts in government, industry, practice, and academia to share their cutting-edge insights on these issues, as well as what the future holds. The conference will feature highly interactive sessions and opportunities to speak directly with these experts. It is the only event of its kind in the Midwest, and one that is not to be missed!
