Why You Should Attend:

Each month, Josh is joined by a panel of IP luminaries, leading scholars, and industry insiders. Together, they examine major topics and events in a civil, roundtable format.
Journalism has been called the “the lifeblood of a free, democratic society,” and so it is. As the Supreme Court has warned, however, in society’s haste to disseminate news, it must not be forgotten that copyright is an engine of free expression that, by creating a right that can be marketed, sold, and licensed, supplies an incentive to create and disseminate those ideas. News agencies and reporters rely on those protections to fund their journalistic efforts. At the same time, they rely on limitations on those rights to ensure their ability to report the news of the day.
