AGENDA
8:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
This program is intended for in-house counsel and business executives
IP counsel continue to face unpredictability given the current IP landscape and business climate. Whether from emerging or disruptive technologies, changes in patent subject matter eligibility, effects of recent Supreme Court decisions, and/or budget restraints, today's counsel is forced to be nimble. The combination of these factors with the pressure of devising scalable and flexible solutions on a dime make it increasingly difficult to align IP strategies with a company’s larger corporate goals. Pivoting at the right time and with the right strategy can be the difference between obsolescence and prosperity.
Gain practical insights from your peers on their strategies in directing such inflection points as well as agility in implementing new IP strategies in light of recent legal developments at Foley’s 15th Annual IP Conference – “Knowing When and How to Pivot”.
This conference is a thought leadership forum is intended for IP in-house counsel and business executives. For more information and to express interest in attending the conference, please click here.
