Don’t miss PatCon 3, the annual Patent Conference which takes place this Friday and Saturday (April 12-13) at Chicago-Kent. See conference details below and at the conference website.
About the Conference
The Patent Conference is a cooperative effort among the University of Kansas School of Law, IIT Chicago-Kent College of Law, University of San Diego School of Law, and Boston College Law School to hold an annual conference where patent scholars in law, economics, management science, and other disciplines can share their research.
In 2010, the founders of PatCon—law professors David Olson, David Schwartz, Ted Sichelman and Andrew Torrance—realized that the growth and importance of research in the area of patents required an exclusive forum that would enable participants to share their research with other experts and explore links across the legal and business side of patents.
PatCon 2, hosted by Boston College Law School in May 2012, had more than 40 participants from across the country.

A Debate About the Patent System
The Honorable Judge Richard Posner (7th Circuit);
