The Diversity Committee of the PTAB Bar Association and Intellectual Property Law Association of Chicago (IPLAC) are co-hosting a Chicago Meet Up on September 24 from 5:00 to 8:00 pm at the River Point Conference Center, Chicago, IL. 
 
This event will feature four student debaters from Chicago Public Schools in a short debate on the 2024-25 national debate topic:  whether the U.S federal government should significantly strengthen its protection of domestic intellectual property (IP) rights in copyrights, patents, and/or trademarks.
 
Chicago Debates has been preparing students for the debate topic, and representatives of this organization will be attending this event.
 
Attendees will have an opportunity to:
  • Network with area practitioners as well as representatives from multiple organizations, including ADAPT.legal, Intellectual Property Owners Educational Foundation (IPOEF), IPLAC, and the PTAB Bar Association.
  • Experience DEIA in action as illustrated by the high school debaters, and
  • Learn about the upcoming PTAB Bar Association Thought Leader Summit on Thursday, October 10, 2024. This year’s event will be a unique bi-coastal experience, held simultaneously at the USPTO offices in Alexandria, Virginia (1:30pm-5:30pm ET) and San Jose, California (10:30am-2:30pm PT). More information and registration are available at 2024 PTAB Bar Association Thought Leader Summit - PTAB Bar Association.
