November 4 & 5 | Rethinking Innovation w/ Michel, Iancu & Watts

Keeping a nation at the forefront of innovation requires a "whole of nation" effort. Despite its existential importance, few nations manage it well. Innovation has helped the U.S. remain the only global superpower. How long it can remain so will depend partly on how well it can develop a cohesive, comprehensive, and compelling plan to stay ahead of its competition. Our annual conference's keynote panel in November brings together three panelists whose careers in the judiciary, the executive, and the legislature offer unparalleled insights into this issue. Join us and be part of the conversation. Details here: https://ipconference.law.uic.edu/
