Klemchuk Kubasta LLP Hosts Annual Ethics in CLE Program

Intellectual Property Attorneys Attend Event That Combines Ethics Legal Education with Opportunity to Network with Other Dallas-Fort Worth Professionals
 
Oct. 28, 2009 - PRLog -- Dallas, Texas – Klemchuk Kubasta LLP (www.kk-llp.com) hosted its Annual Ethics in IP CLE on September 18, 2009, at Ozona Bar and Grill.  Tailoring the program to ethical issues pervasive in patent and intellectual property law, Klemchuk Kubasta, LLP offered this year’s IP CLE to Dallas and Ft. Worth area patent and intellectual property lawyers.  

Paul Storm of Storm LLP, www.stormllp.com, presented a fascinating account of his experience in a high- profile attorney malpractice action involving patent law, entitled, “Patent Malpractice: How nice patent attorneys can get themselves into big messes.”

Casey Griffith of Carstens Cahoon, www.cclaw.com, armed the attendees with useful tools to avoid ethical dilemmas and possible malpractice claims in pre-suit investigations, entitled “Attorney Misrepresentations in Pre-suit Investigations.”

Tamera Bennett of the Bennett Law Office, www.tbennettlaw.com, presented a highly entertaining quiz on ethical issues related to protecting the intellectual property of entertainers, entitled “No Kidding, There Are Ethics in Entertainment Law.”

The CLE attendees received 1.5 hours of ethics credit on topics relevant to patent law and other intellectual property practice areas.

Kelly Kubasta, a partner with Klemchuk Kubasta LLP, explained that “Texas attorneys often have difficulty satisfying their required hours of ethics CLE credit, but our firm sees this as an opportunity.  First, a half year of ethics credit can be satisfied in one sitting.  Second, the program is tailored to issues that are particularly timely to intellectual property attorneys.  Third, local attorneys are given a wonderful opportunity to network with other professionals.  And last but not least, this is all offered in an informal environment.  We’ve been overwhelmed with the positive response from all attendees.”
