Time flies when you are having ... (IP) fun! Indeed, as previously announced, in June The IPKat will turn 20. To mark this milestone, we are doing two things.
First, we are organizing a big event on 8 June, both online and in London. If you are planning to attend in person in London, hurry up because we only have 5 tickets left!
Second, Kats Eleonora Rosati and Hayleigh Bosher have put together an edited collection, which brings together several current and past IPKat Team Members, as well as eminent Katfriends. The book - titled Developments and Directions in Intellectual Property Law. Twenty Years of The IPKat - will be published in May by Oxford University Press (OUP).
The goods news of the day is that there is now a 30% discount code available to use for those interested in purchasing their own copy (or copies!) of the IPKat book. Just add ALAUTHC4 at checkout on the OUP website and the discount will be automatically applied.
We very much look forward to celebrating the past, present and future of our beloved IPKKat together with our Readers!

No comments:
All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.
It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
