BRUCE P. KELLER: Welcome back, everybody. We are now going to turn to what I like to refer to as the entertainment portion of the program, on intellectual property law. And I think what I'll do first is simply briefly introduce Mary, who is reprising her role as the speaker, and will take us through a tour of some of the interesting cases that have evolved since last time we met. Mary, a 23-year veteran at Microsoft, leads the work of over 200 lawyers ...

LEE LEVINE: You ready? Are you ready? LUCY A. DALGLISH: Yes, he's ready. LEE LEVINE: All right, we're going to get started, if everybody could take their seats.

MALE SPEAKER: Lawyer current issues. Let me introduce the panelist because this is a self-moderated panel. Given the enormous talent and maturity level, there does not need to be an adult in the room beyond those-- among the panelists. So let me start by introducing the key speaker and the ring master, Bruce Johnson. Bruce is back, having done this for us last year, where he is a partner in the Seattle office of Davis Wright and Tremaine, a member ...

LEE LEVINE: We start the afternoon session with reporter's privilege and anonymous speech. Just a warning, we will move seamlessly from this session to the next session on access. So you'll simply be able to stand and stretch your legs as we switch panels. There will be an actual real break after the access session and before the social media panel. All right, well, we will start by introducing our principal speaker, George Freeman. George has been ...

JEFFREY P. CUNARD: Welcome back to the last panel of the first day. And now for something really special and different. So for those of you who were here this morning, you heard me talk about how we've been doing this for first 35 years with Jim Goodale, and then for the next five years with Lee Bruce and myself.

LEE LEVINE: --everyone. We are ready almost for the last session of the day. Let me congratulate all of you who have managed to make it all the way through to the last session.

LEE LEVINE: Welcome back, everyone, from break. This is the time in the proceedings where we traditionally take a look at what's going on specifically at the Supreme Court, and more generally, with respect to developments in First Amendment jurisprudence that overarch all of the other subjects we talk about for the rest of the conference starting now. Our principal speaker, as he has been for each of the last five years, is Paul Smith, who is the ...
