Reising participated in MIPLA’s annual Judge’s Banquet and Golf Outing

Blake Schmidt, Matt Schmidt, and Shannon Smith participated in MIPLA’s annual Judge’s
Banquet and Golf Outing. Michigan is both a hub of innovation and a focal point for major IP
litigation, and this event supports the Theodore Levin Foundation—led by federal judges—
which provides legal education opportunities in the Detroit area. Blake and Matt’s group tied
for second place at the event, and Shannon’s team tied for fourth place. Shannon also won
Women’s Closest to the Pin.
