Topic: Common Strategies and Best Practices: This Roundtable will answer the question,"Why is IP important to your corporation?" We will take a close look at the strategies companies use when faced with a "Love Letter," whether the letter is a litigation threat or a license offer--including patents, copyrights and trademarks. In addition, we will review several strategies to enable your company to protect its IP in an aggressive contract negotiation. If you want to explain to C-Level management how to own/protect your IP and why this ownership/protection is important, you don't want to miss this session.
