December 7: The Power of Automation: How to Streamline Your Law Firm

Legal professionals are optimizing and automating their firms, and so should you if you want to stay competitive. Automation really just boils down to the elimination of repetitive tasks and the reduction of human error. 

Don’t be intimidated by technology – this CLE will take you through everything you need to know about how to increase efficiency in your firm and what types of technology can help you reach your goals (whether those goals be financial or more free time back into your day).
Join attorney Jordan Turk as she talks about common law firm tasks that are ripe for automation, from non-billable activities to workflows to document management and everything in between. If you’ve been wondering what the heck automation is, or how you can build upon the automation that you already have, then this CLE is for you.
In this free CLE webinar, you’ll learn:

• How document automation can help you produce, version, store and submit legal documents like pleadings, motions, orders and discovery requests and responses
• How to align your automated technology with your law firm’s processes and build firm-wide efficiencies, including billing procedures
• How automation reduces the risk of possible compliance, ethical, malpractice, and security issues by removing human error

October 5: Patent Monetization: How to Generate Revenue from Patents

Unless you have a plan for how to use your patents, they can wind up simply as expensive pieces of paper. Instead, you can use patents as a significant source of revenue, whether from licensing, sale, settlements, or judgments. Most patent owners, however, are unaware of this. As a result, they leave the revenue that can be derived from those patent portfolios on the table.
And there are various ways that you can unlock the value of your patents, even if you do not have the capital do so.
In this webinar, you will learn about:

• The wide variety of funding mechanisms for financing patent monetization efforts that require little or no up-front investment from the patent owner.
• How patent owners can leverage such funding to engage in licensing or litigation effectively against large infringers in ways that would not be possible without external financing.
• Strategies for building patent portfolios that are designed from the outset for maximum monetization value.
• The types of patent monetization campaigns that are most appealing to funders.
• The types of expenses a funder will pay for in a monetization campaign.
• The growth of markets for selling and licensing patents without litigation.

The panelists, which include a patent attorney, patent litigator, and patent monetization funder, all with extensive experience in managing and monetizing patent portfolios, will explain a variety of approaches for generating revenue from patent portfolios, in an interactive discussion based on the most common situations they encounter. Bring your questions about the options that are available to you or your clients for an engaging conversation about the latest strategies for maximizing profit from patent portfolios.
