This program is designed to bring you up to date on both civil and criminal enforcement efforts of intellectual property. From the physical world to the internet, brands are not only building their intellectual property, but are heavily protecting it. In today’s billion dollar industry of infringement and piracy, it is critical to protect IP rights. This program will place you in a better position to think outside of the box when it comes to enforcement. The panels, comprising of in-house counsel, private firm practitioners and government agents, will guide you through the latest updates in each of their areas of expertise as well as lay out creative and strategic methods of enforcement. From the private sector to government, these groups work together to protect valuable property and provide each other with invaluable assistance in the fight against infringers.
