SVIPLA is pleased to co-sponsor this luncheon with SFIPLA, the SF Bay Area IP American Inn of Court and SCCBA's High Tech Law Section.  We hope you can join us on May 6 to meet Michelle Lee, who will be leading a conversation on such topics as: an update on the new office and role, and opportunities for local companies to interact.

Ms. Lee is best known for her role as deputy general counsel and head of patents at Google. She joined the technology giant in 2003 and built the company’s patent legal team from scratch.  She also spent time at Fenwick & West LLP, where she was a member of the IP and patent group where she represented clients including Cisco Systems Inc., Logitech, Apple, Sun Microsystems and others.

Starting in May, administrative law judges and support staff will be temporarily based out of a U.S. Geological Survey facility on Middlefield Road in Menlo Park.
