University of Iowa to Host Forum on America Invents Act

Professors Dennis Crouch (University of Missouri) and Jason Rantanen (University of Iowa) will be speaking at the University of Iowa College of Law at 3:30 on Thursday February 16, 2012, about the recently enacted America Invents Act (AIA).  A panel of practicing attorneys, including yours truly, will also be offering our thoughts.  The forum is free and open to the public, so if you’re near Iowa City, and interested in learning more about the AIA, please attend.

Professor Crouch founded and edits the blog www.patentlyo.com.  Prof. Rantanen is a frequent contributor and co-editor of the PatentlyO blog.  For those not familiar, PatentlyO is the most widely read and influential patent blog.  I’m excited to meet these celebrities of the patent world.  It should be an interesting forum.
