MELVIN GARNER TO RECEIVE 2017 LINN INN ALLIANCE DISTINGUISHED SERVICE MEDAL

Mel Garner is one of several recipients to be awarded a Distinguished Service Medal by the Linn Inn Alliance at a reception preceding the NYIPLA Judges Dinner at the New York Hilton Midtown on Friday, March 31, 2017.  The medal is in recognition of outstanding service over the past several years in helping to bring the American Inn of Court experience to the intellectual property community.  The Linn Inn Alliance was founded in 2008 by the Honorable Richard Linn, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, to unite the then six existing IP law focused American Inns of Court, and which now total 25 members around the country and in Japan.  We congratulate Mel on this well-deserved honor!
