From IAM

A recent survey of senior corporate IP professionals conducted by IAM found that twice as many expect patent litigation to increase rather than decrease over the coming years as companies seek to defend their rights and generate increased value from them. It is against this background that IPBC Connect will present the latest litigation developments, issues and strategies for success in Europe, the United States and Asia across the month of September.
