PIUG 2019 PLENARY SESSION:
PATENT INTELLIGENCE IN THE BOARDROOM

  •  
  • As patent professionals, we know the importance of IP in securing protection for innovation within an organization and how that protection can be used to drive success for the organization.  As practitioners, we are challenged daily by the changing patent landscape and the need to keep abreast of new technology in patent research. But how do we ensure our message is heard in the boardroom alongside discussion of sales, EBITDA, budgets, market conditions and other C-level conversations?  If IP really is a critical business asset, how do we ensure it receives the attention it deserves at board level?  And how do we ensure the information we provide is as complete and accurate as it needs to be to address business-critical decisions?

    Join us for a panel discussion of the issues involved, how to ensure our patent research is fit for purpose and the skills required to effectively provide actionable intelligence at board level.

  • Date Monday May 6
