About CASRIP and the Institute
The CASRIP Summer Institute is the benchmark for intellectual property summer programs in the United States. Directed by world-renowned professor, Toshiko Takenaka, the Summer Institute teaches the fundamentals of patent prosecution, patent litigation, and technology licensing and management, from a comparative law perspective.
Summer Institute faculty Include Judge Randall Rader from the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals, distinguished visiting professors, such as Professor Martin Adelman from George Washington University, patent examiners from the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and experienced patent prosecutors and litigators from Seattle, Sillcon Valley and Washington, D.C.
A highlight of the Summer Institute is the two-day High Technology Protection Summit, which attracts experts from around the world to discuss cutting-edge legal issues in intellectual property law and innovation.
The Summer Institute also offers opportunities to network with patent practitioners during fun summer activities - a boat cruise, a Mariners' game, a graduation dinner and other events hosted by local Seattle law firms as well as an optional trip to the USPTO and the Federal Circuit.
