Philly Meetings | Akin Gump & FMC Corp
Excellent meetings in Philadelphia this week. Akin Gump IP head Steve Maslowski and Rubén H. Muñoz hosted Dean Danielle Conway and me to lunch. Happy to learn Steve is an ardent supporter of Penn State and paid it forward in numerous ways, including endowing a scholarship to his undergraduate program. A thank you to Rubén for connecting us. Looking forward to deepening our collaboration in the fall and beyond.
Enjoyed a breakfast meeting with Roberte Makowski, one of our IP program advisory board members. Roberte serves as Chief IP Counsel at FMC. I thanked Roberte for speaking to our students about her work at FMC and discussed our plans for the coming year. You might have seen FMC’s towering building amidst Philadelphia’s skyline. Perhaps less well-known is the picturesque neighborhood where the building resides.
