Most businesses are aware that significant risks and rewards are linked to patent litigation. Yet many companies that find themselves in or contemplating IP litigation are ill-prepared to evaluate the numerous strategic decisions and variables necessary to ensure the desired outcome while keeping costs from escalating out of control.

At this seminar, Wolf Greenfield litigators will present on the key lifecycle, risk, and economic aspects of IP litigation that senior management needs to know before a dispute arises. In addition, a panel of senior executives and corporate counsel will share their experiences with the IP litigation process.
