Message from NCBA IP Section Chair Robert N. Crouse

Bob Crouse, Chair of the IP section of the North Carolina Bar Association, offers the following message in the latest issue of the IP Links e-newsletter:

I encourage everyone to consider attending the CLE program of the IP Section’s annual meeting on April 9, 2010, at the Grandover Resort in Greensboro. This year’s program offers a wide variety of subject matter including licensing for pharmaceuticals, biotech, and open source/free software, patent exhaustion, and 112 issues. We will also feature a point/counterpoint discussion on patentable subject matter in view of Bilski v. Kappos as well as a presentation on developments in Trademark protection, and more. We are excited about providing this year’s CLE to the membership and hope that everyone can attend. See you on April 9th!
