ASTD-Lincoln Presents
Intellectual Property 101: A Crash Course in the Basics of Intellectual Property
What do you have in common with Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood, Mike Tyson’s tattoo artist, and Isaac Newton? All have (or had) an opportunity to learn more about intellectual property rights and protections. Your opportunity will be June 20 at the ASTD-Lincoln learning event.
Intellectual property is becoming more important to training and development professionals in order to gain and maintain a competitive advantage. Understanding copyright, trademarks, and other protections of your work is an essential skill that helps to develop your portfolio of offerings. How do you share what you have learned without violating someone’s intellectual property rights while protecting yours?

Meet Your Presenter: Michael W. Khalili 
Michael W. Khalili joined the Knudsen Law firm in 2009. He is licensed to practice law in Nebraska, the U.S. District Court of Nebraska, Iowa, and Washington State. He is an active member of the Lincoln CenterPointe Board of Directors, Lincoln Estate Planning Council, Nebraska State Bar Association, Iowa State Bar Association, and the firm’s Estate Planning and Marketing Committees.
Michael was born in Guymon, Oklahoma and grew up in Del Rio, Texas. He graduated, cum laude, from the University of California Los Angeles in 2003 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology.
He received his J.D. degree from Seattle University School of Law in 2008. Michael attained the highest grade for overall achievement and best performance for Housing Law and Policy and was the recipient of the prestigious CALI award. He received the Washington State Hispanic Bar Association Scholarship in 2007 and the Deans Diversity Scholarship in 2005. Michael is also bilingual and was actively involved in the Hispanic Organization for Legal Advancement, South Asian Law Student Association, Jewish Legal Society, and the Intellectual Property Law Society.
Following his first year at Seattle University School of Law, he was awarded the Laurel Rubin Farm Worker Justice Fellowship and interned with Columbia Legal Services in Yakima, Washington. While interning, he provided legal advice to farm workers regarding their rights, as well as minimum wage issues. During a radio interview, he disseminated information in Spanish for individuals thinking about entering the legal profession.
