Visiting Intellectual Property Scholar program attracts the nation's
leading intellectual property scholars who share their expertise through
specialized courses and lectures.
Edward D. Manzo Scholars in Patent Law
The Edward D. Manzo Scholars in Patent Law program supports the
Advanced Concepts in Patent Law Seminar. Established by Edward D. Manzo,
this program focuses on a series of lectures by invited patent
scholars.
Students and faculty members read and discuss each scholar's work
before the authors formally present their papers during an interactive
seminar at DePaul. Students use the presentations as models for their
own original works of patent law scholarship.

Program in Law, Science and Technology (Stanford Law School); and
DePaul University College of Law Center for Intellectual Property Law
& Information Technology (CIPLIT) co-sponsor an annual roundtable
conference that brings together IP/IT scholars to present their
works-in-progress and to discuss current issues.
Arts Law Colloquium
The Center for Intellectual Property Law & Information
Technology (CIPLIT) began sponsoring the Arts Law Colloquium in Fall
2007. The colloquium is facilitated by Professors Patty Gerstenblith and
Margit Livingston and features lunchtime presentations by attorneys who
practice in the areas of art, museum, music, theater, film, and media
law.
Visiting Artist Series
The Visiting Artist Program seeks to bring to the College of Law
actors, directors, writers, musicians, painters, sculptors, and other
artists so that they may discuss with our students, faculty, and the
legal community the issues facing them as working artists.
The Visiting Artists, in dialogue with attorneys and law faculty
and students, share their perspective on the legal problems they
encounter in their profession, including copyright, contract issues,
agency, and moral rights. Through this dialogue we hope to further
understanding of these issues by both artists and those in the legal
community.
