SECTION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW

REGISTER TODAY! JUNE 16-20, 2004 Four Seasons Hotel Toronto Toronto, Ontario In cooperation with: The Canadian Bar Association National Intellectual Property Law Association The Intellectual Property and Entertainment Committee of the International Bar Association Section of Business Law

Dear Colleague: You are warmly invited to the 11th Annual Summer IPL Conference of the American Bar Association Section of Intellectual Property Law, which will be held June 16-20 at the Four Seasons Hotel in Toronto. Toronto is a fascinating place for you and your family to visit, and the Section is planning a wide variety of social events and tours that take advantage of the unique and varied museums, historic sites and attractions of Toronto.

The mixture will include programs for attendees, their spouses and guests, and their children. From enjoyable evening events, featuring an evening at The Second City and a local art gallery crawl, to lower-priced half-day tours and longer excursions outside the city limits, including a daytime theatre trip to Stratford and an excursion to Niagara Falls, there will be something of interest for everyone.

The educational programs will feature the latest developments in IP law presented by leading authorities in the field from both the U.S. and Canada. The Business Session will include reports from the Section's substantive committees for analysis, debate and adoption of resolutions that will be the foundation of Section and ABA positions, Congressional testimony, and statements to the PTO and international IP bodies on intellectual property law issues for years to come. CLE credit will be available for both the educational programs and the Business Session.

The Conference will also provide social events, exhibits, committee meetings, sporting tournaments and other networking and small-group educational opportunities.

This year we are welcoming the participation of the following local IP law organizations and the International Bar Association. Their members may register for the conference for the same registration fee as ABA IP Law Section members.

Thursday Welcome Reception

• Canadian Bar Association National Intellectual Property Section
• Intellectual Property Institute of Canada

Toronto promises to be a popular location. As our Summer IPL Conference continues to grow, we expect this meeting to attract a larger share of the Section's 20,000 members than any previous conference. We urge you to mark your calendars, register early, and make your airline and hotel reservations now.

Mary and I look forward to seeing all of you in Toronto June 16-20!
