LEARN   DEBATE   HAVE FUN

Thanks to everyone who made the 20th Annual Fordham IP Conference a success: our conference faculty, the attendees, our wonderful and tirelessly working IP Institute staff and, of course, our sponsors without whom there would not be a conference. And to John Feerick, who 21 years ago as Fordham Law School dean bravely authorized the conference in the face of huge potential financial losses, which thankfully never occurred. No other law school dean in the U.S. or elsewhere would have done so. He is not called “John the good” for nothing.

What People Are Saying About The Conference

“What distinguishes the conference is the sheer intensity of its focus. Prominent speakers’ papers became the subject of vigorous and often dramatic debate as big name IP experts came under sustained fire from their peers and were required to defend their IP beliefs” –The IPKat

“This must be one of the most enjoyable and thought-provoking conferences in the IP field. The high quality of the speakers is matched by the intense, audience-led debates and challenges which follow.” –The Late Sir Hugh Laddie, Former Justice, Royal Courts of Justice, London

“Faculty for the conference . . . speak with a combination of candor and timeliness that is unrivaled by any other forum of its kind.” –Honorable Marybeth Peters, Former Register of Copyrights, U.S. Copyright Office

“I always encounter the most stimulating ideas at the Fordham IP Conference in New York. That is the one I like for giving me fresh ideas and new ways to look at IP.” –Don Weerawit Weeraworawit, Deputy Secretary-General, Human Rights Commission, Thailand.
