At the meeting they will review international law updates and rules that impact their practices, gain an understanding of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and its implications to IP practice and learn about how the newest advancements in technology like the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) will impact IP law.
