By on January 17th, 2013

On January 31, 2013, from 3:00 to 4:30 pm EDT, the Federal Circuit Bar Association (FCBA) is sponsoring a Webinar panel titled “Starting and Maintaining a Small IP Firm or Nonprofit.” The FCBA is the national organization for the bar of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, D.C. They sponsor numerous intellectual property law related programs relevant to law students and award scholarships. They also hold a national conference every year and publish articles through the Federal Circuit Bar Journal and FCBA Newsletter.

Notably, all of their webinars are now offered for free to members and students may join the FCBA for free. For membership in the FCBA, visit the website.

There are many career paths open to law students and lawyers. In this webinar, Professor Michael Mireles will lead a discussion that explores starting and maintaining a small IP firm or non-profit. The panel will examine issues related to starting a small IP firm from transitioning from a large firm practice to developing clients. One panelist will also discuss his experiences in creating an IP non-profit. Additionally, panelists will discuss their personal satisfaction with practicing in a small IP firm or non-profit.
