Bill Belanger will be a speaker at the Federal Circuit Bar Association 2026 Bench & Bar Conference, scheduled for June 17–20, 2026, in Boca Raton, Florida. His panel, “Higher Education, Innovation, and the Law” will take place on June 19, 2026, from 10:45 – 11:45 am.

This panel will examine the evolving legal framework governing federally funded innovation, with a particular focus on the intersection of higher education research, technology transfer, and private‑sector commercialization. Against the backdrop of heightened policy attention to Bayh-Dole, patent licensing, and government oversight of research outcomes, the panel will explore how recent doctrinal, administrative, and policy developments are reshaping innovation ecosystems across the life sciences and other technology‑driven sectors.
