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.
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.

Honored to be the Law School’s inaugural Provost-nominated member to serve on the Campus Promotion & Tenure Committee. Over three days of intense meetings, the Committee carefully mulled over numerous applications that could be career-changing in every case. We were ably assisted in this task by Vice-Provost Nancy Freitag and her team consisting of Malia Heath, Faizan Abid, and Delores Shields-Lewis.
Pleased to share the keynote address by Hon. Diane Wood, Chief Judge of the Seventh Circuit. The keynote address, titled “Antitrust & IP: Does It Need to Be Retooled?” was delivered at the 63rd Annual IP Conference on Nov. 1, 2019.
We were delighted to host Judge Essex, who delivered a public lecture titled “The ITC: An Insider’s View.” Judge Essex joined Hogan Lovells as Senior Counsel after a decade of service as a U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) judge. Judge Essex also met IP law students at a roundtable after his lecture, where he answered wide-ranging questions from them.
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!
