Speakers include a legendary patent law jurist, patent reform leaders, chief corporate patent counsel, leading practitioners and scholars, as well as the PTO’s Patent Reform Coordinator.

The event carries 4.5 hours of CLE credit, pending approval. Registration is $125, which includes materials, refreshments and lunch. The event runs from noon to 6 p.m. at the law school, 530 W. New York St., Indianapolis. For more information, visit the law school’s website.
