Everyone at Dunlap Codding is extremely proud of Emily E. Campbell and Michelle M. Llanderosos for the incredible work they undertook in organizing and spearheading the steering committee for Oklahoma City’s first Ignite event – IgniteOKC (Twitter: @igniteokc).
Dunlap Codding was thrilled to be able to sponsor the event, support the efforts of Emily and Michelle and encourage the efforts of everyone on the steering committee, including:
Seth Spillman Dirk Keiser Michael To Blake Jackson Justin Briggs Tyler Smith Sandip Patel Jory Burson Melanie Goodman Keiser Robert Campbell
IgniteOKC #2 will be in the summer of 2010 and IgniteTulsa #2 (Twitter: @ignitetulsa) will be March 4, 2010 at the Blue Dome Diner in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The Tulsa folks were a great inspiration to IgniteOKC and we encourage everyone – no matter where they are located in Oklahoma – to travel to Tulsa for IgniteTulsa #2. You won’t be disappointed!
Emily, as Chair Woman of the event, was interviewed by NewsOK and gave a fantastic overview of the Ignite event:

As many of you might have figured out, PHOSITA (and her writers at Dunlap Codding) have been a bit busy with various activities and projects these past many months. Ok – who are we kidding, 2008 has been a very quiet and slow year for PHOSITA. Well, all of that is coming to an end! As 2008 draws to a close, 2009 is gearing up to be a barnburner of a year for PHOSITA. A new firm name. New PHOSITA authors. Same old PHOSITA attitude and character. As we announced yesterday, Dunlap Codding has a new managing director – Nicholas D. Rouse – and we “institutionalized” our firm name to honor the two individuals who led us with integrity and passion the past 50 years. What else is going on in Oklahoma City, Washington, DC (and Austin in near future)? In order to find out – stay tuned. We wish all of our friends, colleagues and supporters a joyous holiday season and a New Year filled with laughter and health. See you in 2009!

Rouse named Managing Director of Dunlap Codding, PC I am really pleased to be able to announce that the shareholders of Dunlap Codding, PC have named Nicholas D. Rouse our new managing director. “Nick is the perfect person to lead the firm as we expand,” said fellow shareholder Douglas J. Sorocco. “Not only does he have the respect of all our lawyers and staff for his keen and precise legal mind, but he is held in high esteem for his steady and consistent demeanor. Nick’s dedication to excellence in client service makes him an excellent ombudsman on behalf of our firm.” Nick graduated from the University of Oklahoma in 1987 with a B.S. in Petroleum Engineering, and received his Juris Doctor from the University of Oklahoma in 1990. He is a member and immediate past president of the Intellectual Property Law Section of the Oklahoma Bar Association. Mr. Rouse was admitted to the Oklahoma Bar in 1990 and became registered to practice before the United States Patent and Trademark Office in 1992.
