May 5 Idaho State Bar presentation on patent reform: unbelievable timing

On May 5, I’m giving a presentation to the Idaho State Bar Intellectual Property Section.  The topic?  Patent reform, of course! [.pdf brochure]

Steve Nipper invited me to give the talk several months ago.  We chose patent reform as a topic but worried that it might not be timely since we had no idea when the issue was going to take off (all of this occurred before the Committee Print and before even the first hearing announcement).

We gambled somewhat, and won.  The timing couldn’t be better.  We’re in the midst of congressional hearings and awaiting introduction of legislation.  I’ll probably have to update my materials just before the talk…

So if you’re interested in the reform issue and you’ll be in the Boise area on May 5th, we’d love to see you.
