The Honorable Randall R. Rader brought his classic rock band DeNovo to San Diego to headline the I.P. Rocks S.D. concert at the House of Blues in January 2012. The event kicked off the second annual University of San Diego School of Law Patent Law Conference.
DLA Piper was pleased to help organize the event as a lead sponsor. More than 300 lawyers, judges, professors and professionals gathered at the House of Blues for this memorable evening.
Opening bands from Qualcomm and NuVasive warmed up the crowd. Then, following DeNovo band member Jon Knight's tongue-in-cheek proclamation "all rise," Chief Judge Rader ran onto the stage wearing shades and grabbed the lead microphone. He captivated the crowd as he belted out familiar tunes by Neil Young, The Rolling Stones and other rock legends, proving that IP does indeed rock.
