George Vona, a Toronto lawyer in private practice will be speaking on examining the shared legal system and often different practice in Canada and the United States.

Speaker Bio:

George Vona is a former professional pianist who at the age of 40 developed the symptoms of focal dystonia, a neurological repetitive stress disorder that effectively ended his playing career. At a time when most people begin daydreaming of retirement, Dr Vona, faced with a mortgage, a new-born daughter and limited career options, and against all common-sense, decided to go to back to school to study law. Dr Vona is currently practicing law as a sole practitioner concentrating in the areas of Wills and Estates and Real Estate.
George Vona holds a Doctor of Musical Arts degree from the Hartt School, University of Hartford, and a Juris Doctor from the University of Toronto Law School.

During his musical career, he and his wife Lark Popov, performed together as a celebrated concert piano duo and their second compact disc, The Book of Mirrors, was nominated for a Juno Award, the Canadian equivalent of the Grammy Awards.

During his law studies, he proudly co-authored the amicus brief submitted by an association of international lawyers for In re Marriage Cases when the case was argued before the California Court of Appeal in 2006.

Andrea Calvaruso: "Days in the Life of an Intellectual Property Lawyer"

Ms. Calvaruso will give an overview of her background and provide insight into the intellectual property and related matters she deals with day-to-day on behalf of clients in the fashion, retail and entertainment industries.

Refreshments will be provided.

Speaker Biography

Andrea Calvaruso is a partner in Kelley Drye & Warren LLP’s New York office and chair of the Trademark and Copyright practice group. She served as the chair of the Copyright and Literary Property Committee of the New York City Bar Association for the 2013-2016 term. Her work has been recognized in the 2013-2016 editions of Chambers USA and the 2011-2016 U.S. editions of The Legal 500, reporting that her clients praise her as “smart, reliable, trustworthy, knowledgeable and responsive,” that she “understands IP inside out,” is “smart, capable and pragmatic” and “has a dynamic personality and is very good at negotiating through difficult matters.” Ms. Calvaruso’s practice is unique in that she is involved in both prosecution and litigation. As a result, she offers her clients far more breadth and depth of practice than most of her peers. She not only helps her clients build and protect their intellectual property rights through strategic counseling and domestic and international prosecution, but also aggressively represents such clients in court and other adversarial proceedings. Ms. Calvaruso regularly negotiates and drafts intellectual property-related agreements, and advises on issues pertaining to the evaluation of ownership interests, licensing matters and content and trademark clearance. She also manages worldwide trademark portfolios and trademark enforcement programs, including instruction and supervision of litigation and opposition proceedings abroad. Ms. Calvaruso also litigates trademark, trade dress, unfair competition, and copyright cases. Ms. Calvaruso’s experience includes handling actions in U.S. Federal District Court and inter partes proceedings before the U.S. Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB), and ICANN Proceedings.
