Hold the dates for this exciting and timely conference on IP protections for software:

Software IP: The 20th Annual BCLT/BTLJ Symposium

Intellectual Property Protections for Computer Programs:

Past, Present, and Future

Thursday, April 14, 2016 - Friday, April 15, 2016
Chevron Auditorium, International House, UC Berkeley

In the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s decision in Alice v. CLS Bank and its denial of Google’s petition for certiorari in the Oracle software copyright case, new uncertainties exist about the roles that patent, copyright, and other forms of IP are and should be playing in the legal protection of computer software.

This symposium will consider the implications of the Alice and Oracle decisions and other developments in the software industry.  Speakers will include leading scholars in both law and economics, industry representatives, and practicing lawyers, who will consider what the courts are getting right and wrong and how intellectual property law ought to evolve to do a better job for the industry and the public that so depends on software these days.

Full agenda, with speakers.

Registration will open in January.
