The Biotech Committee of the Intellectual Property Law Association of Chicago (IPLAC) will be hosting its next Biologue Chicago event on April 16, 2009 from 5:30-7:30 pm at the Metropolitan Club in the Sears Tower (now known to some as the Willis Tower).  Biologue Chicago, which was launched by the Biotech Committee of the IPLAC in March 2007, provides a means of gathering members of Chicago's biotech community — including scientists, entrepreneurs, investors, attorneys, and journalists — to network, mingle, and socialize, thereby fostering academic, industrial, and IP law ties in the Midwest.  Those wishing to attend the event should RSVP to RSVP@biologuechicago.com — please include your full name, company or organization name, and title in the e-mail.  Some of the Patent Docs authors will be attending the event, and look forward to the opportunity to discuss recent developments in biotech patent law.
