The Colorado Bar Association's intellectual property section and the University of Colorado Silicon Flatirons planned to host a luncheon on Thursday in Denver where representatives from the campaigns of Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Barack Obama, D-Ill., would speak about their candidates' positions on IP and technology policy issues. According to the event notice, this is the first time that either campaign has agreed to publicly discuss topics such as patent reform, piracy, counterfeiting and judicial appointments.
Officials slated to speak on behalf of the McCain campaign were Ed Reines, a senior partner at Weil Gotshal, president of the Federal Circuit Bar Association and a member of McCain's Justice Advisory Committee, and Ray Gifford, a partner at Kamlet, Shepherd & Reichert and former president of the Progress and Freedom Foundation. Duke Law School professor Arti Rai and University of Virginia law professor Christopher Sprigman were scheduled to go to bat for Obama.
