CALL FOR PROPOSALS: IPO DAILY NEWS SEEKS MEMBER CONTRIBUTIONS FOR RECURRING SERIES AND COLUMNS
IPO invites members to submit proposals for recurring columns, series, or other regular content to be published in the IPO Daily News beginning later this year. This initiative is intended to expand opportunities for members to share insights and perspectives on intellectual property law, policy, and practice, and to further enhance the value of the publication to the IPO community.
Proposed topics might include IP policy issues, district court or regional circuit court opinions, international IP developments, practice trends, or other matters of interest to IPO members. Proposed formats may include recurring columns, periodic analysis, interview series, explainer pieces, or other structured content. Proposals should include a brief description of the proposed topic and scope and anticipated frequency (e.g., weekly, monthly, quarterly).
For reference, Daily News items are generally at least 100 and no more than 250 words. Please also include a short writing sample representative of the proposed content.
Contributors may participate individually or on behalf of an IPO committee. Members interested in submitting a proposal should contact Samantha Grover.
