2026 ABA-IPL Section Annual Meeting (IPLSPRING)

Intellectual property partner Matthew Rizzolo will be speaking at the 2026 ABA-IPL Section Annual Meeting (IPLSPRING) on the panel Coordinating Global Litigation: Aligning the ITC with the UPC, UK, Germany, District Courts, and the USPTO. Matt's panel will meet on Wednesday, April 15, 2026 from 11:15 am – 12:15 pm ET.

The session brings together seasoned practitioners to discuss strategies for aligning litigation across diverse forums, mitigating the risks of inconsistent rulings, and leveraging proceedings in one venue to influence outcomes in another.

The panelists will also examine the International Trade Commission’s swift pace and powerful remedies in a global context and explore tools for coordinating outcomes such as stays, estoppel, and comity. Drawing on recent cross-border cases, the discussion will offer practical insights for remaining strategic and effective in a fast-moving global patent landscape.

A premier IP conference that highlights the latest developments in trademark, copyright, and patent law, IPLSPRING includes more than 20 CLE sessions in addition to networking events, wellness programs, and business meetings.
