5th Annual ACC MN Oktoberfest CLE

On Wednesday, October 30, 2024, join Carlson Caspers lawyers and the Association of Corporate Counsel Minnesota Chapter (ACC MN) for their popular Oktoberfest interactive CLE program and networking event. This year's program at Pryes Brewing Co. will explore Hot Topics in IP Law in round-robin roundtable discussions. The fast-paced format appeals to generalists and IP specialists alike! 

The program will cover substantive law and legal strategy in these cutting-edge areas:

(1)  IP Litigation Trends: What the Data Says About Who Is Filing What and Where | Peter Kohlhepp and Ryan Rypka

(2)  Safeguarding Ornamental Designs of Useful Articles With Patents, Copyrights, and Trade Dress Law | Matthew Goggin and Katherine Chen

(3)  Patent Infringement Considerations: Is Your Product/Process Different but Equivalent to What Is Claimed? | Jennell Bilek and Justin Oakland

(4) Third Party Litigation Funding: Transparency of Interest | William Bullard and Jake Dinkins 

Each topic will be hosted by Carlson Caspers attorneys who will lead a timed small-group discussion. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in all four discussion groups during the hour-long program. 

After the CLE program, enjoy a sample of the brewery's award-winning craft beers and wood-fired pizza.
