well as
distinguished speakers discussing Intellectual Property
issues. Last
year, 55% of attendees were from academia, 24% from
industry; 20%
from government and funding agencies; and 1% unknown.
About half of
the attendees were from outside USA; from 72 nations.
The event is
among the top five largest international annual gathering
