| A B O U T T H E C O N F E R E N C E “In an ever-competitive global economy, software products have almost unlimited potential to add profitability to companies, but evaluating strengths and weaknesses in a product before it hits the market is crucial. Any successful corporate intellectual property program needs a roadmap to identify the market opportunities, assess the value of the portfolio, establish the critical terms of contracts and determine what it will take to distribute the product. This two-day conference will convene leading industry executives and practitioners to discuss the trends in software development, production and marketing, as well as strategies for protecting and defending your software including patents. They will address issues of forming strategic business alliances, using open source code, developing patent protection strategies that work, and planning and setting up effective distribution.” Program Co-Chairs: Brian S. Kelly, Esq. of Manatt Phelps & Phillips LLP, and Rauer L. Meyer, Esq. of Thelen Reid & Priest LLP. Credits: CA 12.25 MCLE; WA 12.0 CLE; Call about others. Who Should Attend? In-house counsel, IP/technology lawyers, CFOs, CPAs, CIOs and technology professionals involved in managing software patent portfolios. . |
