The North Carolina Bar Association Intellectual Property Section is pleased to present the “2012 Laws of Science Symposium.”  This Symposium provides an opportunity for science and business professionals to learn about protecting their intellectual property in the life sciences.  Organized by the Biotechnology and Chemical Patents Committee of the NCBA IP Section, this Symposium is intended to raise awareness of intellectual property law and related issues (patenting strategies, technology transfer, agreements, company start-ups) to scientists, managers, and attorneys.  The goal is to provide valuable and practical information that individuals can bring back to their laboratories, companies, and universities, where they can reduce what they have learned to practice.

Keynote Speaker: Holden Thorp, Ph.D., Chancellor, UNC-Chapel Hill
