The Industry Leading Event for Corporate IP Counsel To Gain Insight Into The Innovative Practices And Processes In Place To Manage Corporate And Legal Issues Of Today

Welcome to World Congress’s 6th Annual Corporate IP Counsel Forum, the premier forum for you to discuss the latest developments in intellectual property with your industry peers! These interactive sessions will provide you with detailed information on recent changes to patent law, as well as best practices for developing a successful IP strategy.

In this cross-industry event, the most timely and critical issues will be analyzed by experts who can provide you with unique insight and actionable strategies to help you tackle the latest challenges in IP. Given the recent overhaul to IP law, the timing cannot be better to discuss new tactics to adapt to changed IP landscape!

To be successful in their initiatives, IP practitioners must be prepared to answer the following questions:

• How will the America Invents Act influence your IP strategy going forward?
• How do you determine which patents to license, litigate, keep, or sell?
• What are the most important court cases in IP this year?
• What is the latest in the debate on patent eligible subject matter?
• How do you capture inventions earlier in the development cycle?
• How do you navigate the new post-grant review system?
• How do you strengthen the enforcement of your patents internationally?

Join us at our 6th Annual Corporate IP Counsel Forum on March 19-20, 2014 in New York City to answer these questions and many more in an effort to optimize your IP portfolio!
