CincyIP Presents:
IP Issues in Social Media-
What’s New Today (It Will Be Different Tomorrow)

April 12, 2011

11:45am – 1:30pm

The Cincinnatian Hotel
This course has been approved by the Supreme Court of Ohio Commission on Continuing Legal Education for 1.0 total CLE hour(s) instruction.

Social Media Law is one of the most rapidly developing areas of practice in the intellectual property field. With the explosion of Social Media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, a plethora of traditional intellectual property issues have been injected into an entirely new medium with little guidance on how those issues are to be treated. Like Internet Law before it, Social Media Law is evolving in real time, as the major players in this new industry innovate and change on the fly, forcing practitioners to stay closely tied to their every move lest they risk falling behind the curve. This panel discussion will highlight some of the current issues in Social Media Law, with the caveat that while the answers given may be right today, they may change tomorrow as the social media community continues to evolve.

The panel will be moderated by J. Michael Hurst (Of Counsel, Keating Muething & Klekamp PLL) and will include:

• Steven W. Caldwell (Counsel – IP, The Procter & Gamble Company)
• Sarah Otte Graber (Partner, Wood, Herron & Evans LLP)
• Geoffrey L. Oberhaus (Partner, Dinsmore & Shohl LLP)

PRICES (including lunch):
• $20 for Members (includes 1 Hr Ohio CLE)
• $30 Non-Member with CLE
• $20 Non-Member without CLE
• $15 Students and Full-Time Academics

“I’m Not an Alcoholic – Why am I Here?” – Substance Abuse CLE and Holiday Party

Posted on by

CincyIP Presents:

“I’m Not an Alcoholic – Why am I Here?”

Featuring

James Slattery, JD

Date: Tuesday, December 14, 2010

Time: 4pm – 6pm
Presentation: 4:15pm – 5:15pm
Wine Tasting and Hors D’Ouvres: 5:15pm – 6pm

Mr. Slattery will address alcoholism and its impact on the practice of law. His perspective is that even if we are not alcoholics ourselves, it is very likely that we at least represent one or work with other attorneys who are. Issues to be discussed include certain personality characteristics that alcoholics may have and the special problems that these characteristics may create in our professional lives.

Since 1996, Mr. Slattery has been a frequent lecturer on the issue of substance abuse for bar associations, law firms, insurance companies, state and county associations and agencies, universities, law schools, the US Army, the Southern District of Ohio US Attorney’s office, the Ohio Judicial College and anyone else who asks. He was a Board Member of the Alcoholism Council of the Cincinnati Area from 2001 to 2004 when he left that position to become a Trustee of the Hamilton County Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services Board where he served until its merger with the Hamilton County Health Board in 2007. He has been a Board Member of the Hamilton County Mental Health and Recovery Services Board from its creation to the present time.

Mr. Slattery’s presentation will be followed by CincyIP’s Holiday Party, featuring hors d’ouvores and wine tasting.
