Structuring IP Deals and Licensing: Implications from Recent Key Cases and Activities

On Wednesday, May 6, 2009, Foley attorneys Pavan K. Agarwal and George C. Beck will speak at the Washington Metropolitan-Area Chapter of the Association of Corporate Counsel (WMACCA) on “Structuring IP Deals and Licensing: Implications from Recent Key Cases and Activities.”

Program Overview
Now more than ever, during challenging economic times, companies need to take every measure to ensure they are reaping the full benefits of their IP assets of all kinds. This presentation will cover the implications of key cases and industry trends that in-house counsel need to be aware of, and provide insight into licensing strategies and helpful tactics that will help enhance returns on IP asset investment. Conversely, speakers will address measures licensing parties should take to ensure they are within the scope of their licensing agreements, including protecting themselves in vertical chain arrangements, and discuss how key cases and industry trends differently impact their specific industries.
