We invite you to join us to celebrate the new Tenley Campus of the Washington College of Law on Saturday, February 13th. As part of the opening weekend celebration, WCL is hosting events to bring together faculty, alumni, and students. The day will start off at 8:30 am with breakfast and an address by Dr. Jim Yong Kim, President of the World Bank Group. Throughout the afternoon, PIJIP will be hosting events to highlight alumni’s areas of expertise in the intellectual property field and deepen the alumni connections to WCL.  Kicking off the IP events will be our panel, New Directions in Intellectual Property Law – Redefining Boundaries, Institutions and Practice. WCL Professors will moderate a discussion of recent and proposed changes in intellectual property legislation, court decisions and administrative practice that will profoundly affect the field. Alumni will be invited to reflect on how these and other changes are affecting their practice and what advice they have for students entering the field.  After the lecture, we invite you to take a tour of the new Tenley campus led by a current student pursuing a career in intellectual property.
