Invigorating your Portfolio: Optimize IP assets, reduce risk and increase value

Berkeley Center for Law & Technology and Kilburn & Strode are pleased to invite you to our annual summit: Invigorating your Portfolio: Optimize IP assets, reduce risk and increase value

Recent difficult times have accelerated an already growing paradigm shift in IP portfolio management. At this portfolio management summit, officials and in-house counsel come together to find answers and propose practical approaches to optimize your IP portfolio.
What percentage of your portfolio provides significant value to your company? What does it take to increase the visibility and in-depth understanding of your portfolio? Can offices such the EPO, USPTO and EUIPO help applicants achieve their goals in a growing new paradigm that focuses on making better use of the IP budget? How should trademark strategy be optimized in a changing world? What can be done to add IP value by utilizing alternative strategies?

The summit will span over 3 days, each consisting of prominent speakers and a panel. Here is our agenda:
