The ©©© Conference:
Celebrating Copyright's tri-Centennial


June 5, 2010 in Santa Fe, New Mexico

PictureIPIL’s National Conference, traditionally held in Santa Fe, New Mexico, has through the years provided scholars a unique setting to develop, debate and deploy commentary and policy proposals concerning intellectual property and information law. Topics for past conferences have included Patents, Copyright, Trademark & Trade Secret, Information & E-commerce, and Cyber Law.

The Summer 2010 Conference focuses on "Celebrating Copyright's tri-Centennial” by exploring the history and origins, meaning, and relevance of the Statute of Anne, the first copyright statute anywhere --revolutionary legislation, enacted by Parliament in 1710, which helped shape the Copyright Clause of the United States Constitution and the history of American copyright law ever since.

Following the event’s tradition of eminent scholars, IPIL is proud to have engaged a distinguished group of speakers who will present and, with conference fellows and other attendees, discuss papers to appear shortly Celebrating copyright's tri-centennial in Houston Law Review's annual IPIL symposium issue.

Registration is necessary for attendance (please use the links to the right to contact our Program Manager), but there is no charge to attend this event. The IPIL faculty at the University of Houston Law Center hopes that your summer plans can include joining us in the Great Southwest!
