SEPTEMBER 26 EUROPEAN PATENT FORUM 2019, THE CHARLES HOTEL MUNICH

Over recent years, the legal and political landscape in Europe has faced a great deal of volatility and uncertainty, putting increased pressure on IP owners. Moreover, there has also been an increased emphasis on the commercial beneficial uses of IP in terms of revenue generation.

Rapid advances in technology means protecting your assets is crucial but also raises vital questions about the suitable protection required, particularly with AI inven-tions. The ability to connect everyday objects, as well as electronic & medical devic-es, and vehicles to the internet is transforming the way we interact with the world around us and posing critical challenges for IP owner’s protection and enforcement.

Join interactive discussions with leading European lawyers and expert patent professionals to:

• Examine developments in key jurisdictions to overcome existing threats and deal with market volatility

• Hear how to navigate your business transformation with the evolution of digitalisation

• Engage and work with your peers to problem solve, share ideas, opinions and experiences on filing, managing and litigation your patent portfolio
