Anytime/Web - The Federal Trade Commission & Patent System Reform

The Federal Trade Commission just released its much-anticipated second report on patent system reform. And, on this edition of the IP Colloquium, two of the principal drafters of that report – Suzanne Michel of the Office of Policy Planning, and Deputy General Counsel William Cohen – join UCLA Law Professor Doug Lichtman to talk about its specific reform recommendations: http://www.ipcolloquium.com/Programs/18.html
The Intellectual Property Colloquium is an online audio program devoted to intellectual property topics. We aspire to be something like an NPR talk show, but focused on copyrights and patents, and aimed primarily at a legal audience.
Our programs are neither lectures nor debates. They are instead conversations,with guests drawn from academia, the entertainment community, the judiciary, and various technology industries.
Each program lasts one hour and can either be played on the site or downloaded to any PC or MP3 player. Morever, lawyers who listen to the show can earn free CLE credit in California, New York, Tennessee, Texas, Illinois, Washington, and soon over a dozen other states.
The Colloquium is hosted by Doug Lichtman. Its student director is Chris Moen. Our current show, an archive of previous programs, a schedule of up-coming audios, and various subscription methods are all available at the site."
