September 5, 2006 -- Making Infringers Pay: A Lunchtime Roundtable Discussion
12:00 - 1:30 PM, Room 370
In eBay Inc. v. MercExchange L.L.C., the Supreme Court made clear that permanent injunctions are not always available in patent cases.

This roundtable will explore the role of injunctions in patent, copyright, and trademark law, exploring their similarities and differences. The panel of Chicago-Kent faculty will also discuss the potential impact of eBay beyond the patent context.

October 12-13, 2006 -- Conference: Intellectual Property, Trade and Development: Accommodating and Reconciling Different National Levels of Protection
9:00 AM - 5:00 PM, Auditorium
Both the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and the World Trade Organization (WTO) have stressed that intellectual property is a key to the development of emerging economies. Developed countries view intellectual property rights as central to the protection of their commerical interests in an era of global trade. Yet, the different perspectives of developed and developing countries may give rise to quite different notions of appropriate forms and levels of protection. A central question in current intellectual property debates is how, and to what extent, to reconcile and/or accommodate these differences.
