When considering IP strategy, many people think that just concerns patents. However, it is very
important to plan on using the full range of intellectual assets for maximum protection and value creation. This seminar will go deeper into when should you use trade secrets, design patents, defensive publications, trademarks, and brand as well as utility patents. We will discuss how to watch for infringement or misappropriation and the options for enforcing your intellectual property rights.
Questions answered in the seminar include:• When should you develop an IP strategy?• IP strategy through the product life cycle – should it
change?• Are design patents worth the effort?• How do you protect trade secrets?• When should you enforce your intellectual property
rights?• What options should you consider when intellectual assets
outlive their usefulness?

5. IP as the basis for forming a new company

Attendees will include representatives from:

When considering intellectual property (IP) creation, many companies fail to consider how to monetize their IP or to weigh the full spectrum of monetization options available. Newly launched IP creation, acquisition and development company ipCreate Inc. and related companies ipCapital Group (ipCG) and ipCapital Licensing Company (ipCLC) will team up to lead a roundtable discussion with other industry leaders. Discussions will provide insight into the growing importance of IP creation, the role of IP acquisition, how they relate to each other and to the spectrum of monetization as well as how a Patent Factory can be designed to meet these needs.
ipCreate, ipCLC, ipCG and other roundtable participants will discuss innovative paths to IP creation, such as how to choose innovative areas to explore, how to develop new IP, how to document and obtain valuable patents and how to do this in volume. Participants will consider questions regarding what is the right number of patents to trigger higher value monetization as well as what types of patents are best suited for monetization. Participants will also discuss what IP monetization strategies work best, including sale, licensing, litigation or creation of joint ventures and spin-off companies.
