LES 2015 Spring Meeting

Spring Meeting
May 12-14, 2015
La Jolla, CA

Each year, our Spring Meeting scores very highly with meeting attendees. Attendees look forward to workshops as a source of new information, tools and techniques, and best practices that can be taken back from the Spring Meeting to the workplace.

The 2015 Spring Meeting featured Sector program tracks designed to be of interest to LES Sector members. LES Sector representatives have identified the following topic areas to be of particular interest:

• New technologies, significant new sector developments, and their implications for IP-based businesses (such as technology driven start-ups) and IP transactions
• Legal, legislative, and regulatory developments (e.g., America Invents Act and pending patent legislation) and its impact on IP management, strategy, and licensing, both in the U.S. and abroad
• Legal and business issues relevant to confidential information and trade secrets, including confidentiality in dealings with governmental agencies, management of protected information, and implications of signing CDAs/NDAs
• IP across international boundaries, including importing products patented in country of import and valuing international licensing opportunities
• Other issues relevant to emerging trends and best practices in IP management, strategy, and transactions
