The Intellectual Property Colloquium is an online audio program devoted to intellectual property topics. We aspire to be something like an NPR talk show, but focused on copyrights and patents, and aimed primarily at a legal audience. Each show lasts one hour and features guests drawn from academia, the judiciary, and/or from technology and media companies. Lawyers who listen to the show can earn free CLE credit in California, New York, Texas, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Washington, New Hampshire and Florida. The Colloquium is produced through a partnership between the UCLA School of Law, the economic consultancy Compass Lexecon, and the technology firm Microsoft. It is hosted by UCLA Law Professor Doug Lichtman. Visit us on the web at www.ipcolloquium.com.
