The patent-law employer visits resume THIS FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2024, with a visit by counsel from two prominent corporations, Melissa Buss, Assistant Chief IP Counsel at 3M Corp., and Katy Jackson Huebsch, Chief IP Counsel of Upsher-Smith Laboratories. The visit will again be at 3:30 pm central time, in person in room 125, and over Zoom at the following link:

This visit is particularly special. Both of these corporations are significant employers, and also are important IP clients of major law firms. 3M is a worldwide leader in innovation, and has one of the most sophisticated IP departments of any corporation in the world. Upsher-Smith is a generic drug manufacturer and is very active in the Hatch-Waxman space, both in patent law and before the FDA. This visit will be your chance to learn highly sophisticated aspects of IP practice, and also to become familiar with and to clients whose work is highly sought after by the practice community.
Since graduating in ‘00, both Melissa and Katy have risen to the highest levels of the patent profession. They will be talking about their experiences and offering advice for you as you move forward, both in your initial placement and throughout your career.
This is a visit you cannot miss. I look forward to seeing you there. As usual food and refreshments will be provided.
