Heads Up: Intellectual Property Summit
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Global Intellectual Property Center will host its fifth annual IP summit on Wednesday, Oct. 8 and boy oh boy is there going to be a lot to talk about. Lawmakers passed a major IP enforcement bill in the waning weeks of the 110th Congress and it awaits President Bush's signature. The trade group sent a letter to the White House Thursday evening urging Bush to sign the bill post-haste.
The summit’s overall theme, "It Starts With An Idea: Fostering Innovation in the 21st Century," highlights the importance of promoting an innovation-based economy that creates jobs, saves lives, and generates breakthrough solutions to global challenges. Speakers include: Chamber President Tom Donohue, House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers, NBC Universal general counsel Rick Cotton, News Corp. Vice President Rick Lane, Pfizer's Rich Bagger, Microsoft IP chief Susan Mann, and many others. For more information, click here.
