The Institute

SAVE THE DATE!

Join us on May 31 and June 1, 2012 for our 10th Anniversary of the Rocky Mountain IP Institute in Denver!

This year’s Institute will provide you with new information, new ideas, new resources, and new energy!  You’ll leave with additional insights, knowledge, and practice tips that you can use to be a better practitioner. You’ll receive materials from every session – but you get to choose the sessions that are most relevant and important to you.

Perhaps you want to expand your knowledge base?  With over 30 sessions to choose from, this is also your opportunity to learn about some of the areas in IP in which you are unfamiliar.

The 10th Annual IP Institute is your one-stop conference to get comprehensive coverage of the intellectual property law landscape and its changes.

Join your colleagues from throughout the western United States to learn, to renew acquaintances, meet new colleagues and potential clients, and grow your practice in 2012 and beyond.

Co-sponsored by the Intellectual Property Law Section of the Colorado Bar Association.
