Description

Companies must be prudent when determining IP budgets. They must maximize the value of their patents while ensuring that the patents meet the company's objectives.

Operating in the global marketplace, companies should consider seeking patent protection outside the U.S. if there is any possibility of use, manufacture, or sale of the patent's technology outside the U.S. Even without potential use, manufacture, or sale outside the U.S., companies should explore whether seeking protection outside the U.S. can add value to its IP portfolio by blocking competitive activities that may ultimately reach the U.S.

The strongest global patent protection considers competitors' business and location, and the patent claims that provide the most value in each jurisdiction.

Listen as our authoritative panel of patent attorneys examines optimizing enforceable claim scope while minimizing the patent portfolio costs. The panel will focus on key patent jurisdictions, including the U.S., EPO, Japan, China, and Korea. They will provide practical examples and approaches and will discuss the implications for enforceable claim scope.
