CIPLIT is again offering the “Introduction to IP Theory and Practice” series to all 1Ls students interested in IP.

This skills series consists of six sessions designed to acquaint first year students with substantive content and elements of practice in the various areas of IP.  This program is unique to CIPLIT and is designed to provide our students with a degree of IP background to better prepare them for the job market and the more advanced IP courses in our curriculum. These lectures will be taught by both full time CIPLIT faculty and experienced attorneys working in various areas of IP.

Students who successfully complete all lectures will receive a Certificate of Completion which can be included on their resumes. All lectures will take place in person from 12:00 to 1:00 pm, see below for rooms. Lunch will be served.

The fifth session will be Patents with Josh Sarnoff on Tuesday, March 18, 2025 from 12:00-1:00 pm in Lewis 803.
