Protect, Prevent, Defend: An In-House Counsel's IP Playbook
This CLE will provide in-house counsel with a practical framework for identifying, protecting, and defending their company’s intellectual property—from overlooked brand elements and creative works to innovations, software, and business processes.
We’ll explore how to spot and protect valuable IP, and protect that IP through utility patents, design patents, trademarks, and copyrights.
We will also discuss how to assess claims and exposure when you are served with a demand letter/cease-and-desist letter, or when infringement issues arise. We will cover how to preserve key evidence, evaluate litigation against business objectives, navigate indemnification rights and obligations, and coordinate effectively with outside counsel.
Attendees will leave with practical strategies for protecting IP before a dispute arises and making smart, early decisions when litigation is on the horizon.
