New York | Fordham
Back in New York for the Annual Emily C. and John E. Hansen IP Institute at Fordham Law School Conference at Fordham University School of Law School. Its founder, Hugh Hansen, had a simple but powerful vision – learn, debate, and have fun. Known as the ‘Davos of the IP World,’ the event has done more than perhaps any IP conference in forging understanding, respect, and camaraderie among stakeholders the world over. Now in its 30th year, it has become a must-attend event where news in the IP world is discussed and made.
Also glad to catch up with Haochen Sun in Central Park and celebrate 20 years of friendship. His new book, ‘Technology and the Public Interest,’ makes the case that the right to technology is a human, constitutional, and civil right. Details here: https://bit.ly/3ofIe0u
