INFORMATION LAW EVENTS

 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY DUE DILIGENCE IN BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS [$]
 FEBRUARY 2, 2010 @ 9 AM
 ASSOCIATION OF THE BAR OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK, 42 WEST 44TH ST.
 The object of intellectual property due diligence is to identify
 and evaluate the potential strengths and risks associated with
 intellectual property and technology rights in business transactions.
 This program, designed for general practice, corporate, and intellectual
 property attorneys, will focus on the practical aspects of conducting an
 effective patent, trademark, copyright, and domain name due diligence
 analyses. Attorneys coordinating an intellectual property due diligence
 should understand the process, which requires interaction among intellectual
 property attorneys, corporate attorneys on the transactional team, and key
 business personnel and involves legal and business considerations pertinent
 to the transaction. In addition, this program will also address
 certain bankruptcy considerations that arise in the due diligence process
 relating to patents, trademarks, copyrights, and domain names.

 MYRIAD SUMMARY JUDGMENT ORAL ARGUMENTS
 FEBRUARY 2, 2010 @ 10AM
 COURTROOM 18C, JUDGE SWEET'S COURTROOM, 500 PEARL ST.
 The ACLU lawsuit challenging Myriad Genetic's patents on BRCA1 and
 BRCA2 (the breast cancer genes) will have oral arguments on the ACLU's
 summary judgment motion on Tuesday.  Those planning to attend should

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
