¶ 1 DEAN VAN ZANDT: Good morning, everybody.
¶ 2 (Chorus of "Good Morning.")
¶ 3 DEAN VAN ZANDT: Welcome to the symposium. It's the second annual one that JTIP has put on, the Journal of Intellectual Property Law here at Northwestern.
¶ 4 I just want to start out first of all by saying how important I think this kind of event is. It is a great opportunity for our students and others in the community to come and hear about these issues. I also think this particular issue is extremely important; we see it every day in the paper. In fact, our government is in a bit of a tussle right now with China and the WTO over some of these issues, so it is pretty topical.
¶ 5 And so I congratulate the Journal on putting this together, particularly Dan Lev and Jodie Rosello for organizing this and doing it. So I think that is great.
¶ 6 The other thing I should do is thank our sponsors. We have a few. Our Premier Sponsor is Foley & Lardner for this, our Partner Sponsors are McDonnell, Boehnen, Hulbert & Berghoff and Jones Day, and our Associate Sponsors are Brinks, Hofer, Gilson & Lione, Fish & Richardson, and Welsh & Katz. So thank you to them; thanks to them as well.
¶ 7 I think you have a tremendous program, and let me turn it over to Dan to do the initial welcome and the introductions for the first panel. Thank you.
