Overview

Why you should attend

The rapidly evolving field of Intellectual property ("IP") monetization has become a core strategic consideration for many companies.  On an increasingly regular basis, companies are considering, among other strategies, (i) the carve-out of IP assets in M&A and other strategic transactions, for sale in separate transactions, (ii) IP litigation financing, (iii) financing partners and vehicles for technology and IP development, (iv) international monetization strategies and (v) other emerging monetization and financing techniques to unlock the full value of their IP assets.

In addition to the above business developments, major legal developments continue to have a significant impact on IP monetization.  The ongoing Smartphone patent wars are having a direct impact on IP monetization.  In addition, based in part on the Smartphone wars, the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission have taken a significant interest in how companies leverage patents, including through their litigation and IP monetization strategies.  Moreover, the Supreme Court and Federal Circuit continue to issue opinions having a material impact on IP law.

As a result, a command of IP monetization, and continual updating of knowledge and skills in this area, is now required for corporate and intellectual property professionals.
