The UNION-IP Christmas dinner meeting will take place on:
Thursday 8 December 2022
Our speaker will be The Honourable Mr Justice Meade
We are delighted to announce that we will be welcoming His Honour Mr Justice Richard Meade as our guest speaker at our forthcoming UNION-IP Christmas Dinner event, which will take place at the Royal Overseas League from 6pm on Thursday, 8th December.
Highly regarded as one of the sharpest minds in IP following a stellar career at the Bar, Sir Richard will be taking us through his experiences as he moved to Bench in the depths of lockdown, how he has seen IP case law evolve during his career and what our future outside the UPC promises. UNION-IP has a long tradition of superb Christmas events and for many, the event heralds the true start of the festive season. There will be crackers, paper crowns and (of course) the beloved UNION Christmas Quiz to look forward to, as well as the opportunity to catch up with friends and colleagues from across the profession. Sir Richard looks forward to seeing you on the 8th December!
Venue: The Royal Overseas League (Hall of India & Pakistan), Overseas House, Park Place, St. James Street, London SW1A 1LR.
