I’m the sole IP counsel in a small law department, so the ability to talk about patents and not have others roll their eyes or glaze over was wonderful.

The format is perfect. Small, casual and conversational. Chisum and Mueller switching as primary instructors, but chiming in as secondary instructors, works well.

Good conversation and useful information from other attendees.

Perfect explanation of the cases with great personal insights.

The format enabled us to contextualize the cases in the real world of patent practice and get the reaction of the instructors to the real world application of the cases.

I was very pleased with the selection of topics and the depth; the cases were very current and older hallmark cases were only discussed to the extent necessary for background.

This is one of the best seminars for a patent litigator that I have attended. Other good ones I have been to have centered more on litigation practice rather than substantive patent practice.

The format encourages the participants to get to know each other during the seminar and keep in touch after the seminar.

Exhaustive and elaborate materials provided.

Good job presenting very difficult topics. I liked the informal, relaxed style.

Overall rating 5 stars out of 5 stars! I hope I can convince my boss to let me attend again next year.

The small group format allowed conversation and questions, which was fabulous.

Best seminar ever!

Excellent approach, permitting and encouraging active and lively discussions.

You all have created a great format that allows for folks with a wide variety of backgrounds and experience to each come away with a deeper knowledge base to apply in their practices.

This was the best CLE program I have ever attended.

As an experienced patent practitioner, I am skeptical of CLEs because they typically cover nothing more than what’s generally known. This course was different. It covered topics in great depth and showed me how to use changes in the law to aid my clients.

This is the class that can adapt to anyone working in the field of patent law who wants to expand his horizons.

I loved the focused, traditionally small class type education; great organization and presentation.

I remained completely mentally engaged during the entirety of all three days, due to the seminar’s more intimate format coupled with the quality of the presentations.

The limited attendance facilitated open discussion and kept me engaged.

The style (especially your willingness to entertain all questions) and limited attendance allowed a type of participation that is absent from most seminars.

Scope and depth were very good — depth was several orders of magnitude beyond any other seminar that I have attended.

I found the scope to be highly relevant–especially recent case law decisions.

You guys do a great job explaining patent law and making it easier to understand.

Format was great–feels like you are part of the discussion instead of being spoken to.

The depth of the topics was exceptional, with the presentation getting into important details that might have been missed otherwise.

This is the first (and I’ll bet only) time I’ve gone to a seminar where I got MCLE credit and wished there was an extra day. Highly recommended.
