NYCINFOLAW EVENTS

   [NYCINFOLAW READING GROUP]: INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MISUSE:
   COPYRIGHT V. PATENT
   MARCH 3, 2010 @ 7PM
   ROOM 110, FURMAN HALL, NYU SCHOOL OF LAW, 245 SULLIVAN ST.
   When can (and should) antitrust tools be used to limit
   intellectual property protections? We'll discuss both patent and
   copyright misuse doctrine and consider whether the Federal Circuit's
   Princo v. ITC signals a new willingness to expand the patent misuse
   doctrine. What are the policy implications of using antitrust to
   restrict intellectual property? Readings available at
   http://lists.nycinfolaw.org/pipermail/list-nycinfolaw.org/2010-February/000126.html.
   Food will be provided.

NYCInfoLaw began as a joint project between the Columbia Law School
Society for Law, Science and Technology and the NYU Law School InfoLaw
Student Association. Today, its membership includes similar groups
from nearly all NYC schools dedicated to the intersection between
intellectual property, technology, privacy, communications, and the
law. Our website is a compendium of news and New York City events of
interest to the members of nycinfolaw.org.  If you have a calendar
item you think we should add, please contact calendar at nycinfolaw.org.
