They met with Professor Jack Lerner, acting director of the USC Intellectual Property and Technology Law Clinic, and four clinic students, who presented the clinical program and answered their questions on both the clinic and U.S. IP law in general.
The delegation included Gulnara Fazylovna Adilbayeva, Semey City Court judge; Daniyar Muratuly, chief of the claims and investigations section of the Ministry of Justice Department of International Law and Property; Aliya Yermenkovna Zhumabayeva, chief of the Ministry of Justice's Control and Realization of Legislation on Authors' Rights section; Alma Seydazimovna Toleukhanova, chief of the section of Theory Patents and Incremental Inventions of the Ministry's Committee on Intellectual Property Rights; and Alibek Nurlanovich Nurbekov, consultant for corporate development, Kazyna Sustainable Development Fund. The group has been participating in the Library of Congress Open World Program as a part of their visit. The visit to USC Law was organized by the International Visitors Council of Los Angeles (IVCLA), which organized a visit of Taiwanese judges last fall.
