Patent Baristas

The Center for American and International Law is holding its 46th Annual Conference on Intellectual Property Law (CAILAW) at its headquarters in Plano on November 10-11, 2008.

From 3:30pm-4:15pm on November 10, I will be part of a law blogger panel “All the News That’s Fit to Blawg,” which asks whether or not bloggers are the journalists for a new generation? The panel promises a vigorous discussion of “cutting-edge topics by some of today’s leading IP bloggers.”

The discussion will be moderated by Bruce S. Sostek of Thompson & Knight LLP of Dallas.  The panel includes:

Stephen Jenei • Patent Baristas, Frost Brown Todd LLC (Cincinnati, OH)
Kyle Fleming • PATracer.com, Renner Otto Boisselle & Sklar, LLP (Cleveland, OH)
Joe Mullin • The Prior Art, IP Law & Business Magazine (San Francisco, CA)
Michael Smith • EDTexweblog.com, Siebman, Reynolds, Burg, Phillips & Smith, LLP (Marshall, TX)
Peter Zura • The 271 Patent Blog, Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP (Chicago, IL)

I’m looking forward to meeting everyone on Monday!  Drop me a note if you’ll be attending.
