Welcome to Global Patent Congress 2012
Maximising and Protecting your Patent Portfolio to Increase Revenue and Balance Costs
If you are serious about protecting your IP globally, then you will know how hard it is to roll out effective licensing and enforcement strategies across different legal systems.
Booming patent markets, like China, Korea and India, represent significant challenges for companies which do not have the local contacts and are not familiar with the national patent systems.
At the same time, the harmonisation process is bringing the world ever closer together. Patent reform in Europe and Asia simplifies, streamlines and opens up new avenues for patentees, prosecutors and non practicing entities. This opens up new risks and changes the rules of the game, at the same times as it opens up opportunities for the well informed actor.
Global Patent Congress returns to Copenhagen for its 6th year running – and it is more global and patent-focused than ever. This year, we will be focusing on global patent reform and patent portfolio management in the BRIC economies and beyond, with leading speakers from the regulatory bodies giving you the latest legal updates, and business leaders sharing hands on experience.
