IP Today: Capturing the Competitive Edge – Weighing the Impact of Change in the U.S. IP World

IP law in the United States has seen sweeping changes over the past year. An entirely new federal trade secret law, major changes to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, a new set of post-grant rules, and other reforms make it crucial for businesses to consider the impact of these changes on their enforcement and strategic planning.

Please join our team of experienced Foley partners for an in-depth, half-day discussion addressing each of these topics and more. There will also be breakout sessions that will explore the developments in IP rights in both the pharma/biotech and electronics industries.

Featured Topics

• Hot topics in Patent Litigation
• Statistics and Trends in Post-Grant Proceedings
• Current Status of Attorney-Client Privilege
• The New Defend Trade Secrets Act and Its Implications
• A Comprehensive Approach to Protecting Your Trademark and Brand
