July 24: Webcast - Patent Trolls in Context

Patent trolls, a term of endearment for Patent Assertion Entities or PAEs, continue taking top spots in intellectual property news. Despite a lack of fondness from the tech industry, patent trolls recently scored a reprieve from any legislative leash designed to rein in what opponents call their "litigate, not innovate" approach to collecting patents for the sole purpose of making money through infringement actions. As this activity continues to dog the technology industry, it is imperative that companies and their legal departments stay sharp on the subject.
Attorneys Neil A. Belson, a leading advisor to life sciences and pharmaceutical companies, and Andrea L. Charters, counsel to senior executives on the legal impact of domestic and global business strategies and former Assistant General Counsel with Rosetta Stone, will engage in a lively dialogue to compare and contrast patent troll issues facing Information Technology and Bio-Pharma corporations in the context of patent enforcement for operating companies:

• Patent trolls vs. monetizing your patents
• Contractual and licensing recent developments
• Litigation management strategies for patent trolls
• Bio-pharma vs. information technology trolls
• Multi-defendant and jurisdictional issues.

Join Neil and Andrea as they candidly offer a presentation not to be missed by any in the IT or Bio-Pharma legal communities!
