BCLT's 12th Annual Symposium explored the role of intellectual property—and patent law in particular—in promoting entrepreneurship and in providing incentives to entrepreneurs, bringing together speakers from a broad range of disciplines, including economics, law, business and other fields. The panelists included distinguished professors, attorneys, entrepreneurs and venture capitalists who have been actively involved in the information technology, biotechnology, pharmaceutical and green technology sectors.

WilmerHale Partner Jason Kipnis was the moderator of the technology sector panel, "When and Why Do Entrepreneurs Seek Patents?" The panel discussed whether, when and why entrepreneurs obtain patents.
