A Conference on the Google Book Search Lawsuit
New York Law School
Thursday, October 8 through Saturday, October 10, 2009

IS FOR Digitize will give this complex lawsuit the sustained attention it deserves. An interdisciplinary lineup of academics and practitioners will examine the settlement through the lenses of copyright, civil procedure, antitrust, the publishing industry, information policy, and literary culture. The conference is timed to
coincide with the rescheduled fairness hearing in the Google Book Search case, which will be held on Wednesday, October 7 in New York City, just five blocks from the Law School.

The Maturing Internet at Northwestern
May 18th, 2009 by
Respond
Maturing Internet Studies
This one-day conference and forum brings from across Northwestern University scholars whose work looks at the Maturing Internet and its implications. In 2008, residential broadband penetration passed 50% for the first time: now more than half the country has high-speed Internet access at home. And, as broadband access has become more widespread, content and applications are increasingly moving to the Internet.
The title of the conference – Maturing Internet Studies – is meant to convey two themes. The first is the study of the Internet as a mature (or nearly so) communications medium, with its unique characteristics of high-bandwidth, interactivity, and (given wireless broadband) ubiquity. The second is the maturing of Internet studies in a variety of disciplines. As the Internet has come into its own, study of it has proceeded beyond “compare and contrast” with past forms of communications.
Northwestern academics from across the University will share their research projects, together with a small number of similarly interdisciplinary scholars from other universities. Selected papers will be published in the Northwestern University Law Review, one of the leading law school academic reviews.
Attendance is free, but please RSVP to Jim Speta (j-speta@northwestern.edu) by Monday, May 18, 2009, to make sure we have enough chairs and lunches.

Pro Bono IP at American University

PIIPA-PIJIP Conference on Pro Bono Intellectual Property Services: Past, Present, and Future
Conference Saturday, April 25, 2009 (Reception Friday, April 24, 2009)
On Saturday April 25th, from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm Eastern Time, Public Interest Intellectual Property Advisors (PIIPA) and the Program on Information Justice and Intellectual Property (PIJIP) of the American University Washington College of Law (WCL) will host a conference at WCL on the past, current, and future needs for pro bono intellectual property services. PIIPA was established in 2002 to create an international pro bono intellectual property referral network to help developing country clients. See www.piipa.org. The conference will focus attention on the need for assistance in developing countries, and the opportunities for law firms, law school clinics, and other legal service providers to engage in pro bono work in the intellectual property law and policy space.
The goal of the Conference is to assess the future of public interest intellectual property law and how pro bono effort can be matched to demand in difficult economic times. Conference speakers will also discuss the broader mission and history that led to the formation of PIIPA and other public interest intellectual property providers, and will summarize some of the many matters and projects that the PIIPA network has handled during its six years of existence. The current state of demand for pro bono legal services, the available supply of pro bono providers of intellectual property work, and the drop-off of funding in this sector leading to the dissolution of several pro bono organizations will also be considered. Speakers will include:
Michael Gollin, PIIPA Founder and partner at Venable LLP;
Ron Layton, Lightyears IP founder and CEO;
Josh Sarnoff, Assistant Director of the Glushko-Samuelson Intellectual Property Law Clinic;
Richard Wilder, Associate General Counsel for Intellectual Property Policy at Microsoft;
Members of PIIPA’s IP Corps of volunteers and other participating attendees.
The conference will be held in room 524 of WCL, 4801 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington DC 20016. The conference will be preceded by a light breakfast and followed by an informal lunch. Space is limited for onsite attendance and advance registration is required at http://www.wcl.american.edu/secle/registration. Or you may participate in the conference through a real-time webcast, by logging in on 4/25 to www.wcl.american.edu/go/PIIPA-PIJIP-Webcast. A podcast recording will be available afterwards at http://www.wcl.american.edu/pijip/ (recent webcasts). A reception for registered on-site attendees (space permitting) will be held on Friday April 24th from 5:00pm to 7:30pm Eastern Time in the George Washington University (GWU) Law School Faculty Conference Center, 2000 H St., NW, Washington, DC 20052.
The Venable Foundation, WCL, and GWU are supporting this event.
