Inspired by the 50th anniversary of the Copyright Act of 1976, the High Tech Law Institute at Santa Clara Law will be hosting the Intellectual Property Law: How It Started, How It's Going on January 30, 2026.  This conference will examine the past five decades in intellectual property law with a broader lens. Leading scholars in all fields of IP will analyze the past, present, and future of IP. 

Honoring Judge Alsup: The Conference will also celebrate Judge William Alsup and his 27 years of public service on the bench. Judge Alsup has presided over some of the most significant IP/technology cases, including Google v. Oracle, Waymo v. Uber, and, most recently, Bartz v. Anthropic. The special program includes a fireside chat with Judge Alsup moderated by Paul Grewal, former U.S. magistrate judge and Chief Legal Officer of Coinbase.
