The protection of intellectual property including patents, trade secrets, trademarks, and copyrights is essential to the progress and promotion of the useful arts. The New Jersey Intellectual Property Law Association (NJIPLA) is devoted to educating its members and the public about intellectual property and its protection under the law. NJIPLA includes hundreds of practicing intellectual property attorneys, patent agents, law students, and interested individuals primarily from New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Connecticut.
POSTPONEMENT OF THE NJIPLA PATENT LITIGATION CLE SEMINAR In response to growing concerns and uncertainty regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19), the NJIPLA Patent Litigation CLE Seminar scheduled for March 11, 2020 at the APA Woodbridge Hotel, Iselin, NJ has been postponed. NJIPLA will continue monitoring developments concerning the coronavirus (COVID-19), and will announce a rescheduled date for the Seminar at a later date. NJIPLA will transfer all current registrations to the newly scheduled date. Please be assured that the health and safety of our membership and event guests are our utmost priority. | MESSAGE FROM THE NJIPLA PRESIDENT REGARDING 2020 JEFFERSON MEDAL DINNER Due to growing concerns surrounding the coronavirus (COVID-19), the New Jersey Intellectual Property Law Association (NJIPLA) will not hold the Jefferson Medal Dinner on June 5, 2020 at The Embassy Suites by Hilton, Berkeley Heights, NJ. Needless to say, this was a difficult decision, as the Jefferson Medal Dinner is the flagship event for NJIPLA. We truly treasure the opportunity to honor the Jefferson Medal Recipient each year, and to welcome our Honored Guests, members and other attendees to this celebratory event. However, given the recent guidance from the Center for Disease Control and the State of New Jersey, holding this year’s event does not appear to be in the best interest of the health and safety of all involved. Instead, we will look forward to resuming this longstanding tradition in 2021. Through the latter part of the year, NJIPLA plans to continue its mission to educate our valued members and the public about intellectual property and its protection under the law. Our annual Patent Litigation Seminar, featuring an outstanding slate of speakers addressing hot-button patent litigation topics, will be held in September 2020, and the annual 34th Annual Pharmaceutical/Chemical Patent Practice Update, focusing on practice tips, guidance, legal updates and summaries from leading experts, will be held on November 18, 2020, both at the APA Woodbridge Hotel, Iselin, NJ. We appreciate your understanding and thank you for your trust as we navigate through these unfamiliar and challenging times. We hope that you and your families remain safe and healthy. We will get through this together. Sincerely, | Upcoming events
