The College of Business Administration of UAH is hosting the eleventh annual Intellectual Property Law Seminar on March 13 and 14 at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center. This is the first time the annual gathering has taken place outside of Washington, D.C. "We are delighted to be here in Huntsville," says Lateef Mtima, Professor of Law at Howard University School of Law, founder of the Institute for Intellectual Property and Social Justice, and organizer of the event. "Not only does this city have a long legacy of innovation, but it also lies almost equidistant from other important centers of innovation in the South, including Birmingham, Chattanooga, and Nashville, with Atlanta not much further away." Practicing attorneys and judges from around the country will be attending the two-day seminar, which offers Continuing Legal Education credits in patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets, among others; all are essential instruments for building asset value, particularly in high-technology and high-growth business enterprises. "We are honored to host this important national event here in Huntsville," says Dr. Caron St. John, Dean of UAH's College of Business Administration, "because of all the exciting work going on in Huntsville at the intersection of government-funded innovation and the commercialization of such innovation through business entrepreneurship."
