The Intellectual Property Owners Association (IPO) will be holding a one-day CLE program entitled "Compulsory Licensing as an Emerging Global IP Issue" on September 14, 2011 in Los Angeles, CA. The one-day program follows the IPO Annual Meeting, which takes place on September 11-13. The conference will address compulsory licensing from both geographical and industry perspectives. Conference sessions directed to compulsory licensing in the United States and Asia (Japan, Taiwan, and China) will consider whether we are beginning to see a convergence in how countries apply compulsory licensing to patent enforcement and what this may mean to national and international IP rights. The conference will offer presentations and panels on the following topics:
• Introduction -- Compulsory Licensing as a Global IP Issue;
• Standards and Compulsory Licensing;
• Compulsory Licensing in the Pharmaceutical Industry;
• Luncheon address by Willard Tom, General Counsel of the Federal Trade Commission;
• Compulsory Licensing in Asia; and
• Compulsory Licensing in the U.S.
Information about the one-day program, including an agenda and list of speakers, can be found in the brochure for the IPO Annual Meeting, which can be obtained here.
The registration fee for the conference is $550 for IPO members or $800 for attendees who are not IPO members. Those registering for both the conference and the 2011 Annual Meeting will receive a $50 discount off the registration fee for the conference.
