On April 9th, Foley Senior Counsel Brian McCaslin will discuss how small business can address the uncertainties of building an international patent portfolio at an MIT Enterprise Forum’s Get SMART Program. The presentation will illuminate general principles of patenting abroad and specific considerations relating to key countries in Asia and Europe.
