ARE Law to Provide Opening Remarks at the GIPA Georgia Intellectual Property Alliance 16th Annual IP Hot Topics Virtual Happy Hour
September 30, 2020
Amster Rothstein is pleased to sponsor the
GIPA Georgia Intellectual Property Alliance 16th Annual IP Hot Topics Virtual Happy Hour on September 30 at 4pm featuring Dr. Walter Copan, Under Secretary of Commerce for Standards & Technology and Director of the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST). Dr. Copan is the peer of USPTO Director Andrei Iancu, and both report to current Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross.
Dr. Copan is responsible for a remarkable evolution in standards for things that will affect our global future, such as AI, augmented reality and privacy & security. In addition, he has led on new policies in the licensing of IP-related standards, including a seminal Justice Department position last year, decoupling standard-essential patent licensing from negative antitrust considerations.
Dr. Copan will be introduced by ARE Law partner Charles Macedo who will provide opening and closing remarks.
