Conflicts of Interest in IP Practice
Join us for a virtual CLE with Emil Ali, partner at McCabe//Ali.
Description:
Patent and trademark lawyers are subject to special ethics and substantive rules which are different from (and sometimes conflict with) traditional law practice. Join us for a new and insightful class presented by a registered patent attorney who focuses his practice on ethics matters. This presentation will help those who attend gain a better understanding of the USPTO’s regulatory powers, ethical rules, and federal preemption.
Topics covered include:
- Nuanced topics related to intellectual property conflicts of interest, including subject matter conflicts and conflicts in Office Actions and searches;
- Candor obligations at the USPTO; and
- Best practices in representing clients.
CLE Credit:
Illinois – 1.0 credit
When: Wednesday, May 15 @ 12:00 pm
Where: Huron Conference Room or Microsoft Teams
(Lunch will be provided for those joining us to watch the CLE in Huron.)
