The Intellectual Property Law Section provides members with a forum to discuss current issues and developments in the field of intellectual property, including patent, trademark and copyright law, as well as internet/social media law and data privacy, licensing and related transactional matters, according to a press release.
Throughout the year, the Intellectual Property Law Section will offer educational programs and be a resource to LCBA members and members of the public and private sectors. The Law Section will also provide opportunities for students to learn about the laws surrounding entrepreneurism and inventorship, the release adds.
