A senior-level attorney for the United States Copyright Office will deliver a public talk on April 9 at Indiana University Maurer School of Law.

Her talk, "Understanding Legislative Proposals on IP Enforcement: SOPA, PIPA and the OPEN Act," will be at 3:30 p.m. in Room 122 of the law school, 211 S. Indiana Ave., Bloomington.

Claggett joined the U.S. Copyright Office in March 2011. She assists the register of copyrights in advising Congress and executive branch agencies on domestic and international copyright policy matters, and she represents the Copyright Office in U.S. government delegations to international organizations, including the World Intellectual Property Organization and in meetings and negotiations with foreign governments.

The talk is co-sponsored by the school’s Center for Intellectual Property Research and by the Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law. It is free and open to the public. One hour of Indiana continuing legal education credit has been applied for.
