On Thursday, September 24, 2026, I will be speaking at the 25th edition of the Midwest IP Institute in Minneapolis on the panel, “25 Years That Changed IP: The Most Significant Developments of the Past Quarter Century and the Next Wave of Change” at 9:05 a.m. Felicia Boyd of Norton Rose Fulbright will be moderating the panel which includes Professor Jon Garon of NSU Florida, Molly Kocialski of Holland & Hart, and Mike Adlin of Pirkey Barber. We’ll be covering the most momentous cases and legislation that shaped trade secret, patent, trademark, copyright and right of publicity law over the past 25 years.

I’ll also be speaking on another panel for an In-House Workshop session entitled “Keeping Trade Secrets ‘Under Lock and Key’: How to Implement Protections That Fit the Risk and the Business” at 1:15 p.m. I’ll be speaking with Andrew Peterson from St. Croix Hospice, Randall Kahnke of Faegre Drinker, and Austin Spillane of Nilan Johnson Lewis.

You can register for the Midwest IP Institute here.  The conference starts at 9:00 a.m. and I hope you can join us.
