ABOUT THE SERIES

Patent policy is a small but fast-moving and exciting field of public interest law, spanning artificial intelligence, health care, human genetics, telecommunications, and more. In this speaker series, patent policy practitioners at public-interest nonprofits will discuss the big issues in patent policy conversations today, as well as career path options in this unique field. These conversations will be of interest to seasoned patent practitioners looking to learn about key developments in law and policy, as well as students and young lawyers interested in less-traveled career paths in patents.
