Royer Cooper Cohen Braunfeld LLC (RCCB) was proud to announce that two of its esteemed Intellectual Property (IP) partners, Barry Cohen and Nancy Rubner Frandsen, chaired IP Philly 2025, an essential event for any attorney dealing with IP issues. The program, in partnership with Temple University School of Law, was held on Tuesday, March 18, 2025, at Temple’s Center City Campus in Philadelphia.

IP Philly 2025 was the second annual full-day, in-person event designed to offer attorneys an in-depth look at the latest trends, developments, and critical issues in the world of intellectual property law. It was a must-attend event for anyone working with IP matters, providing attendees the chance to earn 5 substantive credits and 1 ethics credit through the day-long CLE program. Breakfast and lunch were provided, offering opportunities to connect with fellow professionals in the industry.

What Was Learned

The day’s program offered a wealth of valuable insights into today’s most pressing IP concerns. Highlights included:

• Patent Law Developments: Federal District Judge John F. Murphy moderated a panel of intellectual property lawyers who reviewed the most influential patent law developments from the past year.

• Trade Secrets: A session on significant state and federal trade secret developments provided attendees with the latest information on this vital area of IP law.

New Opportunity: IP Primer Webinar
