In the next week I will talk about the business of intellectual property at two very unique events. I’m excited to share the details of each event below:
First, on May 13, 2014 I will be part of a program entitled “Solving Problems in U.S.-Israel Cross-Border Transactions.” Hosted by Herzog Fox & Neeman in Tel Aviv and co-sponsored by Fox Rothschild, the event will feature two panel discussions providing a spectrum of perspectives on the complex investment challenges of cross-border M&A transactions. In a panel moderated by Michael Sweet, I’ll discuss the intellectual property issues that are most important to U.S. companies who are investing in or acquiring non-U.S. businesses or IP assets. The conference will offer practical solutions to various challenges that may arise during inbound and outbound transactions. Details are available here.
Second, on May 16, 2014, the topic of the Intangible Asset Finance Society’s monthly Mission: Intangible Monthly Briefing will be “IP Quality – 1, 2, 3 What Are We Fighting For?” Intellectual property can be extremely valuable — provided it is really good stuff. Whether it be due to a lack of attention, resources, or knowledge, too often companies build IP portfolios that appear to be strong, but are actually of questionable quality. What are the measures of “good?” John Kepler and I will debate this with host Jonathan Salem Baskin during this online briefing. Details are available here.
