Details:

Defenders of Property Rights and the Heritage Foundation invite you to “Government’s Role in Protecting Constitutional rights in Intellectual Property,” a half day event with experts from many fields focusing on the future of IP rights and the status of groundbreaking IP rights cases.

Defenders of Property Rights was founded in 1991 to counterbalance the governmental threat to private property as a result of a broad range of regulations. Defenders believes that society can achieve important social objectives such as protection of our environment and preservation of our national heritage without destroying private property rights or undermining free market principles. 

Founded in 1973, The Heritage Foundation is a research and educational institute - a think tank - whose mission is to formulate and promote conservative public policies based on the principles of free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a strong national defense.
