Co-sponsored by Chicago-Kent's Program in Intellectual Property Law, the Center for Empirical Studies of Intellectual Property, and the Institute on the Supreme Court of the United States, SCIPR is the only annual conference in the country focused exclusively on intellectual property cases before the Supreme Court. The Honorable William Alsup of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California delivered an address titled "Huge Numbers of Patent Cases: How One District Judge Manages Them." Judge Alsup has one of the most active dockets with respect to patent cases in the country. Other speakers include top Supreme Court advocates from the parties and leading IP academics. The morning sessions included panels on patent cases and Supreme Court analytics, plus a preview of the upcoming Term with a discussion of petitions granted and petitions to watch. The afternoon sessions focused on the changing practice and procedure at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) in light of Supreme Court decisions and the PTO's proposed changes. The special feature on the PTAB was organized with the help of PTAB Bar Association members. Find out more about the SCIPR conference at http://www.kentlaw.iit.edu/scipr.
