Global Patent Congress 2009
Extracting Intellectual Asset Value through Effective Portfolio Management
For the last 3 years, the Global Patent Congress has successfully tackled the IP community’s critical matters to drive the value of your IP portfolio further. Previous attendees will know just how practical, insightful and in-depth our discussions are. But for newcomers, you can look forward to meeting a truly international group of experts and quality speakers from key institutions and organisations working with IP, including: Petrochemicals, Pharmaceutical & Biotechnology, Healthcare & Medical Technology, IT, Telecoms, Software & Computer Services and Machinery Industry.
In 2009 our invigorated program will offer more hands-on presentations and case studies to bring new angles to:
- Gaining patent portfolio value by using and commercializing your intellectual assets
- Assessing the geographical protection of your IP to minimize risks and settle costly disputes
- Building your internal IP organization to link your IP assets with crucial business goals
- Instigating market-based innovation to drive your R&D investments further
- Overcoming the global challenges to IP, with focus on emerging markets, US & Europe
By listening to your feedback and working closely with our speakers, we are positive our meeting will bring real solutions to your crucial strategic objectives for 2010.
