These are exciting times for the intellectual property law program at the UW School of Law. Recent years have seen an explosion in intellectual property practice throughout the world. To remain on the forefront of this rapidly changing field of law, CASRIP has assembled an impressive group of scholars and practitioners from around the world to serve on its Advisory Committee. The Committee’s Executive Council is composed of distinguished scholars and leading policy makers in intellectual property law from each of the major global markets. The Associate Members of the Committee all come from major U.S. and Japanese intellectual property firms and have experience with a wide variety of cutting edge technologies. These attorneys are the leading practitioners in the field and will help shape the future of intellectual property law around the world and in the U.S. This rare combination of talent ensures that the UW and CASRIP will remain on the leading edge of intellectual property law by receiving a constant stream of new and innovative ideas for its curriculum, clinics, and conferences.
