Practising Law Institute is hosting the above-titled seminar on January 21 - 22, 2010 at the PLI New York Center-New York, NY (with a follow-up seminar/live webcast on February 23 - 24, 2010 in San Francisco). The series is chaired by Steven I. Weisburd of Dickstein Shapiro and co-chaired by Eric A. Prager of K&L Gates.
Why You Should Attend
This program gives attendees the tools they need to assess intellectual property as a strategic asset, to consider opportunities to monetize it, and to structure business transactions so as to match business goals and avoid costly missteps. Topics to be covered will include IP portfolio review and management, licensing, valuation, and enforcement. The expert faculty will also review joint development, bankruptcy, tax and due diligence issues. And as a special feature this year, we have added two panels covering the topics of due diligence and licensing from the perspectives of experts who will share their extensive experiences in the information technology, biotech and media/entertainment industries.
