WIPO-CPIP Summer School on Intellectual Property

Rob Sterne, director of Sterne Kessler, taught a session, IP Valuation and Management, to a group of 75 international students and young professionals on June 18, from 10:30-11:30am. Participants included both undergraduate and law students, as well as professionals working in a wide variety of fields.

The WIPO Summer School on IP is an annual summer course taught in countries throughout the world, and the Center for the Protection of Intellectual Property (CPIP) at George Mason University co-hosted the U.S. version of this program in 2018. Through this program, CPIP sought to emphasize the nature and value of patents and other IP rights as commercial assets that drive economic growth and contribute to a flourishing society.
