As the economy changes, so, too, does the business role of your company’s intellectual property. The rise of judicial activity in the patent area and the unpredictable IP legal landscape have created new challenges for today’s IP Counsel, as well as a company’s ability to compete with business rivals.

In these urgent times, ALM has created an information-packed program of the highest caliber.  Hear from leaders in the IP industry.  Learn how other companies are responding to the changing IP legal landscape. Join interactive discussions on your greatest IP challenges.

  • Where is patent reform headed?
  • What is happening in Texas?
  • Venue decision making:  What are the pros and cons?
  • What will the Supreme Court decide in Quanta v. LG Electronics?
  • What is happening in the struggle between big pharma and generics?
  • What is the incubator’s perspective on M&As?
  • How have courts applied In Re Seagate and the new willfulness standard?
  • How are companies responding to the KSR decision?
  • How have companies successfully protected their IP rights in Asia?

The Annual IP Counsel Forum provides an update on recent case law, examines how companies have responded, and provides insights into linking IP strategy to corporate strategy at large. Join our expert faculty, led by Co-Chairs Kelly Hunsaker, Principal at Fish & Richardson P.C., and Chip Lutton, Chief Patent Counsel at Apple, Inc., for thoughtful discussions on today’s greatest IP challenges.
