LETTER FROM THE CHAIR

John Pavolotsky
Stoel Rives LLP

Dear IP Section Member,

I hope you are enjoying your new issue of New Matter!

We have a busy spring, with three (3) conferences:

IP and Emerging Technologies, virtual, https://calawyers.org/event/ip-and-emerging-technologies-conference/, March 22, 2024;

The Copyright Office Comes to the California, in person and live-streamed from the Oracle Conference Center in Redwood Shores, CA, May 16, 2024; and

The Patent Office Comes to California, in person and live-streamed from the USPTO Silicon Valley Regional Office, San Jose, CA, https://calawyers.org/event/the-patent-office-comes-to-california-2/, June 4, 2024.

Plus, our annual DC Delegation heads to the nation's capital in April, with the resulting report to be published in the Fall issue of New Matter.

Our next Annual IP Institute is planned for March 2025. Traditionally, we have held our institute in November, but we are repositioning to a spring annual conference for a number of reasons. If you're beginning to think about IP law conferences to attend and/or sponsor in 2025, please "save the date" for our next Annual IP Institute.

Our webinar catalog is strong, especially in the AI space, with new programming in the works. We have been partnering with various sections, including the Business Law Section, to develop joint programming, on such topics as IP Issues in M&A Transactions.

In addition, CLE articles are available in New Matter.

If you have an idea for a program or an article, please reach out to an IP Section Executive Committee member, including, of course, me.

But, there's more.

Many of our interest groups meet...
