11:15 AM – 11:45 AMExclusive Case Study - Presentation
Imagine you just recently acquired a fitness technology com-pany for upwards of $150 million and shortly thereafter you are sued by your biggest competitor over alleged willful in-fringement of 10 of their patents.The blaring question… Could this have been avoided?As an IP professional you are risk-averse. To avoid uncertain-ty, most simply bite the bullet and spend thankless hours scrubbing what turns out to be dirty, incomplete data from top to bottom.The manual approach is a time-consuming effort that ex-poses you and your company to be caught off guard and even worse, could cost many millions. Leveraging spread-sheets – a 1980s technology – is not efficient, scalable and creates more questions about the accuracy and validity of your analysis.Turn hindsight into foresight and walk away with tactics for setting yourself and your company up for success.
