Today’s changing IP landscape in both the United States and Europe is unprecedented. From the America Invents Act and creation of the Unitary Patent System to enhanced cooperation between patent offices from different jurisdictions, stakeholders have a growing array of global tools that bring great opportunities but also challenge traditional portfolio management and enforcement strategies.

Please join us as we celebrate the opening of Finnegan’s London office by bringing together various points of view from industry and private practice for a discussion of how best to navigate the unique challenges presented by these recent changes, while also addressing today’s ever-present cost pressures.

In addition to our Finnegan speakers, we are pleased to welcome the following guest speakers: Tony Dolan, Director of Intellectual Property, BTG International Ltd; Claire Goodier, Head of Group-IP Patents, Boots UK Ltd.; Nils Olsson, Director IP Rights, Axis Communications AB; Hugo Sakkers, Head of Legal Department, Philips Intellectual Property & Standards; and Filip von Friesendorff, Group Patent Manager, Alfa Laval Corporate AB.
