Join us for the biggest BBA Intellectual Property event of the year. This year, we are starting earlier so there will be more time for learning, and more importantly, the beer, wine and hors d’oeuvres reception after the program. Learn what you need to know about the most important intellectual property cases and legislation of 2004. This popular program offers insight that is straight and to-the-point.
