FROM INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL TO INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
How do you translate the intellectual capabilities of your organization to assets that give your company and its products competitive advantage? How sustainable is that advantage and how do you protect it? In today's environment the definitions of products and ideas are broader, intellectual property is proliferating faster, and the resources to manage it don't keep with its pace. Some of the issues that our panel of experts will address are: how is IP evolving and what are the implications? how do smart companies manage IP? how do you manage your IP for win-win partnerships and fast time-to-market?
