The Colloquium will be held the first eight weeks of the semester on Wednesdays beginning January 11, 2017 from 3:05-5:05 pm. No registration required. Free and open to the public. CLE will be offered.

IP Moot Court and Bench-to-Bedside Competitions

Our students and faculty look forward to the annual events held during spring semester, including the Intellectual Property Moot Court competition and the Center of Medical Innovation’s Bench-to-Bedside Competition. During the 2015-16 academic year, our students enjoyed great success with these events. We congratulate Michael Eixenberger and David Jaffa for placing first in the 2015-16 Western Region Intellectual Property Moot Court competition along with their coach Professor Amelia Rinehart. At the Bench-to-Bedside Competition Night in April 2016, Biolaw Fellow Dave Duncan participated by working with six different teams of inventors to preserve their Intellectual Property rights. Impressed by the variety of medical innovations presented, he notes: “One device used a vacuum to reform the post-birth uterus and reduce blood loss. Another used 3D imaging from CAT scans or MRIs to create a custom stent based on the patient’s actual anatomy. Yet another automated a surgical light so that it could be aimed without touching it—increasing convenience and reducing miscommunication and eliminating a potential infection vector.” Upon graduation, Duncan will practice law as a patent attorney.
