The Intellectual Property Law Society is a student organization providing an environment for NYLS students to discuss, meet, and explore the various aspects of Intellectual Property. This includes, but is not limited to: Patent, Copyright, Trademark, Media and Entertainment, and Cyberlaw. Every year the society invites students to attend and participate in our colloquia and symposia. Our members actively contribute as authors on our legal weblog, help plan and organize events and create relationships with practicing attorneys. We encourage interested students to become a part of the society by helping organize and suggest furture events, course work and curricula.

Anyone interested please send an email to the IP Society.

Coming up for the 2006-2007 academic year

Information session for first year law students - What does an IP lawyer do? We will try to answer this question in a discussion of the various areas of IP & Information law, the different areas of concentration, and what carrers are available in the field.

Introduction to the Patent Bar - We are coordinating with a reprsentative from PLI who will come to NYLS to speak about the Patent Bar and the services they can provide.

Guest Speakers - we are inviting a number of guest speakers to come to NYLS in order to discuss key topics in the areas of Art Law, Entertainment Law, Technology Law, and more.

Scheduling Classes Workshop - in the Spring we will invite professors to join us in order to help demystify the registration process. Discussions will include how to plan your schdule, what course offerings are there in IP & Information law, and the process for registering for various externships.

Introduction to the Patent System - we will be presenting a video distributed by the PTO explaining the process of claiming a patent. This video was produced to educate jurors on the process to enable them to reach an educated verdict in a patent claim.
