The Board of Trustees of the Los Angeles Copyright Society is thrilled to announce that Shira Perlmutter and Suzanne Wilson will join us for our March meeting.
Shira and Suzy will present on recent developments and current priorities at the Copyright Office, including its implementation of the CASE Act.
Following their presentation, Society Trustee and former Copyright Office General Counsel Jacqueline Charlesworth will moderate a “fireside chat” Q&A session with them.
Shira Perlmutter is currently the Register of Copyrights and Director of the U.S. Copyright Office. Prior to her appointment in October 2020, Shira served as the Chief Policy Officer and Director for International Affairs as the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office. Before that, she served as Executive Vice President for Global Legal Policy at the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry and head of the intellectual property department at Time Warner. Shira also served as a copyright and e-commerce consultant to the World Intellectual Property Organization in Geneva, taught as a law professor at The Catholic University of America, and worked in private practice specializing in intellectual property counseling and litigation.
Ms. Wilson is well known to many of our members. Currently the General Counsel of the U.S. Copyright Office and Associate Register of Copyrights, Suzy previously served as Deputy General Counsel at The Walt Disney Company, where she oversaw the company’s intellectual property teams and various business legal teams at different times. Before joining Disney, Suzy was a partner in the Los Angeles office of the law firm now known as Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer LLP, where she specialized in intellectual property matters.
