IPBC Europe Conference - Leveraging Your IP Portfolio

Patrick Keane, Executive Shareholder in the firm's Intellectual Property section, will moderate a panel "Leveraging Your IP Portfolio" at the IPBC Europe: Harnessing IP Value in European Companies conference, presented by IAM.

Traditionally, intellectual property has been deployed defensively in Europe to secure freedom to operate. But it can be used to do so much more. Discussion includes:

• Using patents to drive collaborative deals
• Understanding IP-backed security and financing options
• Getting the best deal possible for the business

Panelists include:

• Johanna Dwyer, QipWorks, LLC, CEO
• Patrick Hofkens, Ericsson, Director, IP Rights Policy
• Ian MacLean, TechInsights, Vice President, IP Services
• Pat Patnode, GE Licensing & Technology Ventures, President
• Ton van Hoef, ASML, Senior Vice President and Chief IP Counsel
