Intellectual Property & Global Prosperity

October 6, 2016 - October 7, 2016

$25

CPIP’s Fourth Annual Fall Conference will highlight how property rights in innovation and creativity benefit communities and economies around the world. We’ll focus on how secure IP rights foster investment, development, and access to products for consumers. We’ll bring together speakers with diverse experiences—from businesses creating music licensing models supporting songwriters to small startups using patent portfolios to secure venture capital investment. You’ll hear from and meet influential industry leaders, policymakers, and scholars working on intellectual property issues.

9 Hours Virginia CLE.
