WINTER/SPRING 2024 NEWSLETTER
Volume 55, Issue 1
Message from the Editor
Welcome to the Winter/Spring 2024 Edition of the BIPLA Newsletter. As is customary, this newsletter includes the minutes from our last Annual Meeting. We also congratulate our 2023 Writing Competition winners, Sara Sam-Njogu (First Place; JD Class of 2024 at Western New England University School of Law) and Ben Silvers (Second Place; JD Class of 2024 at Boston University School of Law). Further, there are recaps of exciting events from the past few months, including the BIPLA’s fourth installment of its Annual Symposium. There are also some great member- and guest-submitted articles on IP-related topics, including developments from the USPTO and other jurisdictions. Finally, please note upcoming events, including the BIPLA’s annual Celebration in Honor of the Judiciary, as well as our calls for participation by submitting BIPLA memories in honor of its centennial and joining our new mentorship program.
I would like to thank the BIPLA’s administrator, Constance Brennan, and the staff of Readz for their help in preparing this newsletter. If you have suggestions, requests, or submissions for a future issue, please feel free to reach out at newsletter@bipla.org.
