HIPLA and the University of Houston IPIL are planning an exciting, not-to-be-missed program for 2021. This year's Institute will feature keynote speaker The Honorable Richard Linn of the Federal Circuit and diversity speaker Dean Leonard M. Baynes of the University of Houston Law Center, and many more outstanding speakers and panelists.
This year’s Fall IP Institute will enable attendees to participate either in-person or virtually. For those participating in-person, we are working with the Moody Gardens Hotel to make the conference safe and enjoyable as always. If you choose to attend virtually, you will have access to all of the presentations as they happen. Our virtual program is supported by a trio of robust platforms: Whova, Zoom, and Wild Apricot. The services are top notch and will offer a seamless user-friendly interface, as well as group meet-up options. We hope to have your support through participation in either mode. Please join us!
Approval by the State Bar of Texas for 13.75 hours of participatory CLE, including 3.5 ethics hours, is pending.
